Drat, the Mr is in Alaska and the big thing I wanted was for him to get a ton of great photos in that beautiful scenery, so I sent our nearly new more expensive Canon Powershot G9 with him.
Well on day 2 they got caught in some rapids (they're rafting down the Yukon river) and he forgot the camera was in his pocket when he jumped into the river to get the raft out of the rocks. It was totally saturated....
Has anyone else had this happen? If so, do you think the camera and/or the memory card will be salvageable? He did get a couple days worth of shots, so I'd at least like to get those pics....
I did a search and some say that if you open it up right away and dry it out it may be okay, and others say it's toast. Waaaahhhh....
Unfortunately I didn't think to tell him to open it up to dry it out, and I doubt he was able to considering the circumstances anyway, so that's just going to add to the problem.
TIA.
