Should i feel bad for spending money on my camera?

This is really weird, but i feel bad for spending $930 for my Nikon D90. I had been saving up money for a while to be able to get it, and my parents helped me out by giving me money for my birthday, christmas, etc. Now that i have the money, i just feel bad, like i shouldn't be spending so much money on it even though i know i'm going to use it a lot. Would you feel bad spending so much on a camera? It's mostly because the money i saved up was mostly from my parents, they willingly gave it to me though. I was planning on getting a job to save up, they just wanted to help. :l

Added (1). It's the 18mm-105mm lens kit, not just the camera. By the way, i haven't bought it yet. I'm highly considering it though.

If your parents can spare it no, don't feel bad. Cameras cost money, that's why you need to take care of them

It's called "buyer's remorse" and this is probably the first time you have experienced it. Check out this article and understand that it is a common reaction, then move past it and have fun.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyer's_remorse

You should because the going rate is only $750 for the D90, $950 with the 18-55VR lens.

I agree with Perki. Funny story, I had buyers remorse too when I bought my D90. And trust me, 2 years ago, it was a lot more expensive.

Maybe consider a less expensive camera, and buy some extra lenses to go with it? It's better to spend money on good lenses, rather than a feature packed camera (like the D90) that you won't use all the settings and features thereon.
