    My Camera went into the water!!

    Well, the title basically says it all... Accidentally my camera (which was inside its case) went into the water when I lost control of the Kayak that I was on.

    I quickly took it out and tried to dry it with my T-Shirt but it was completely gone.

    A friend's cellphone once fell into a pool and all he did was let it dry and it started working again. So I basically did the same thing, opened the camera and carefully dried all the circuits / chips and stuff and let it rest open the entire night.

    Lucky me the camera now works perfectly (Who would have thought) But I missed an entire day of great pictures

    Has anybody gone through something similar?

    Here's a pic of my mom that I took about 2 minutes before dropping the camera, the scenery was beautiful. (BTW it's a place called "Jupiter" in Florida, about 2 hours north of Miami)

    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    I'm usually uber-careful with my stuff...

    Once I dropped my walkman onto concrete from over 1 metres up. It kept working instantly.

    The currents were really slow at the starting point, but yes it is a river.
