There's nothing wrong with being in both camps...as long as it's free!

That's a great deal. It's funny, I've been emailing a professional photographer who lives in Texas that got his start when someone at the corporation he worked at GAVE him a Mamiya (sp?) medium format camera because they weren't using it and knew he was a photographer. It's alway neat to hear about people receiving gifts like this because it doesn't happen often.

Whether it's high end or low end equipment, it's still a great gesture and a neat way for you to start the New Year.
