I don't understand what's NOT to understand. IT WAS NOT HIS TO GIVE. period. The fact that it was your evil BIL AND that he tried to do it behind your back only adds insult to injury. Even if you never use it, use it as a paperweight, hang it from the ceiling and use it as a pinata...that's your call. Enjoy your new camera and use it often in front of that nasty BIL to make him green
