i would sell it and set a little bit of money aside to buy a new (easier to use) camera. there are lots of good deals out there and that way you get the best of both, you still have a camera and you can pay off a few debts.:starmod:Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle:starmod:0

Lovely prize, well done. I really wouldn't know what to suggest - I would keep it and struggle on but only because my one and only hobby involves cameras and would never be able to afford one like that in the forseeable future. But you have to do whats best for you - like some other people have said - keep entering camera comps, sell it and get a cheaper less complicated one to get you started maybe? :staradminHuuuuuuge thank you hugs to all posters:staradmin0

I put items such as that on ebay at the retail price and add a best offer. Well done :T0

Only you know your financial situation fully so it's difficult to advise. (I haven't read OPs other posts).
If it were me I would keep it, as it hasn't cost anything and I'd love to have it. Just think, it could be the start of a whole new hobby (or more).somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's0 -
I know just how you feel - I had something similar with a laptop I won. I'd wanted a laptop, but didn't need all the specs that came with it, so my dad suggested selling it, buying a cheaper one and making a bit of money into the process.
That would probably have been the sensible thing to do, but I just really liked the idea of having something really good that I would never have been able to afford in a month of Sundays.
So I've still got it, and one day might even get round to using more than the basic features!
I'd say do whatever feels right for you, and if that means keeping it, go for it! You won it and we all deserve the nice things in life occasionally.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0
