If you were a finalist in a contest and had to choose between a Canon EOS 40D, a Nikon D300 or $1,500 in cash, what would you choose?

I haven't won, but I received an email a couple weeks ago saying I'm "being considered" as a finalist. Then this morning I received another email saying they wanted more information on my photo. :D
I'm sure I don't have a chance with all the great photos in this contest, but, hey...you never know!

$1500, no question. A Canon 40D body sells for $940 at B&H. ;-)

Don't let these people trick you, look at who one of them is, the cat in the hat, you can never trust cats in hats, just trust me.

Personally I would pick the D300, but hey I love the camera so I am super biased, and it is worth more than $1500.

You must be getting soooo excited! I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you! I'd take the money, no doubt! You can always find sales.

But if you choose the cash and they send you $2,000 and ask you to cash check and forward the remaining $500 to someone else, run.
