Right on, Dean!
I did know that electronics can withstand some water as
long as you don't apply current and you let them dry out.
In 1993, I had a VCR that got wet in flood waters. The
power was off when it got wet, so I figured there was a
chance to save it.
The dirty river water left a layer of mud inside. When I
had a chance I put the whole VCR in a full bathtub of
water and soaked it. I let the thing drain and set it on
end to dry out for about 6 weeks. Then I took it to a
repair facility and they had it running correctly for a
cleaning charge of about $50. I still have it.
Was there a lens on your camera when you dropped it, and
if so, what happened to it?
