So I got my new camera.. Or did I?

First picture with new camera that finally arrived yesterday:

About 20 minutes later I was fooling around with more of the buttons and realized all of a sudden "holy shnikies, this is NOT the camera I ordered". I was very peeved.

I ordered this camera , the Fujifilm S6000fd. This is a perfectly respectable MID level camera that I thought about and really wanted.

What they sent me was this camera , the Fujifilm S7000.

Yes, it's WAY more expensive, but I didn't pay extra for it.

Here are the pros and cons of this situation:
Pros:
-it's a higher-end camera
-it's more advanced
-it's worth more

Cons:
-it's 4 years older than the one I wanted (it's brand new, but manufactured in 2003)
-the zoom is not as good
-it's more advanced (i'm mid level..)

I know I'll get used to it and I'll love it. But damn it, I really thought long and hard about what camera to get and I really wanted the S6000fd.
