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????

You didn't spend squat. If you had not shoplifted it you would have a receipt
and could have returned it for a refund. Put it on ebay with the rest of your
junk.
