I have some sad new gang. My new since Christmas C5050 met an untimely end today. I was doing some nature photography and was streching out over a canal about 1 foot from a baby aligator (2 feet) when it suddenly splashed underwater. This startled me and I lost my grip on my camera. I of course did not have a strap around my wrist. The camera disappeared beneath the murky surface with a sickening plop. I was able to evenutally rescue said camera, but it is a bit worse for wear and I fear it is unrepairable. I let it dry out in the sun for the rest of the day and it appears to have worked for everything but my lense which still appears to a good bit of water in it. I don't want to try putting batteries back in it and powering it up until the last traces of visible moisture are gone. Oh, one of the batteries blew when it was submerged so I am not holding out hope for the circuitry. But we shall see. I have some stored image I will post and my older C3030, but I was really starting to love my new baby. If anyone has experience with this, i'd be glad for your input. Sadly, Kort :[
