I feel your pain. The Nikon 8800 retails for less than $900. Donate it to
charity the write off my be bigger, or claim it as an insurance loss and
pocket the cash.

I just spent 1300.00 on the new Nikon 8800 and now I find out that my
friends
chipped in on a Canon 20D for my 42nd birthday. What will I do with the
Nikon???? The Canon costs nearly 2K and is certainly a step up.
Damn, sometimes good luck and great friends can be frustrating!
