Please?

I would like to request that everyone who would feel inclined to give me a birthday/Christmas present for the next couple of years pool their money together and send either this...


or this...



I really really am dying to have a nice camera. I've read about a hundred reviews on both of these cameras and I've decided that I'd be happy with either. The Nikon is a bit less money, so that's what I'm leaning towards. Hopefully it will find its way into my hands some day, but seeing as I don't have an extra $500 it might take a while. We can dream, right?
