Once I found it I thought well it's probably dead but just incase it wasn't I took out the batteries and threw it in the drier with the sheet. Afterwards put new batteries in and it worked fine. Camera would get more damage being knocked about.

This sounds stupid but it just occurred to me, what about an EXTREMELY low oven to dry it out?

Heat is an enemy of electronics. A dehumidifier maybe. The silica gel works best.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I'm keeping this thread in my mind. I'm wondering how it will turn out too.

I'd give it a week - maybe more. How about one day for every hundred dollar investment?

I didn't turn it on yet, it was a busy weekend plus I REALLY want to make sure all the moisture is gone. I think I might give it a try this evening. Crossing fingers! Thanks again for all your help everyone, I really appreciate it!

Better to wait too long than flip the switch early....Patience will pay off.
