The back ups a little heavier.  At least it wasn't it that went for a swim.  They sink like a rock too.  The memory card made it.  I was happy about that.

those big, high quality ZipLok bags would be a good thing to take along.  That way you can protect the camera when you're not actually using it.  They help keep the dust out, too.

Glad you've still got a good body to shoot with, Bone.  Can't wait to see you post some recent pics.

Well, I either need to buy a 70-200 for some family shots with the nbig body, and buy a little digital to take hunting with me for field shots, or I need to invest in another Lumix.

That sounds like a huge investment down the toilet. Sorry to hear about that. Most importantly - if you lost all your cameras you'd have to be fired as administrator  :P At least the backup is around.

Care to share the whole story?

I was helping the little ladies flyfish.  She got hung up, so I  set it on a rock while I unhooked her.  Next thing I know, the Mrs is yelling "your camera"  I turned to see it not on the rock anymore I jumped over to it and it had sunk like a rock to the bottom.  I guess thats one way to get the sand out of it.  Basically trying to be 5 people at once.  The trip was actually way more enjoyable after that, but I sure missed some nice shots.

Olympus makes some great point and shoots that are waterproof and shockproof (to a certain extent).  I love mine.  Its been wet and been dropped and still works like a champ.

Dry it out somewhere warm - car dashboard, patio on a breezy day, etc.  Give it a week of reasonably passive drying and try it. 

Resurrected a Canon A540 that way, but it only fell in 1" of water in the bottom of the canoe...I still use it.
