About a week after the Canon Ixus was launched in Europe a few years ago, my wife and I stopped over night in Bath, England,for some sightseeing while driving to Scotland. Wandering around town I noticed a guy with his two fists scrunched up against his face and realized that he had some sort of tiny camera that he was trying to use. I moved around until I could see what he was doing - and realized that he had an Ixus (the first that I had seen 'in the wild'). I waited until he was finished what he was doing and asked him how he liked the Ixus.
His reply summed up perfectly (for me) the essence of consummerisim. His reply.... "Seems a bit too small, but I figured that since I bought it, I might as well try it out." The fact that the Ixus happened to be a camera was really incidental to him. He had bought jewelry.
