This is what you get when your G10 gets too wet (and has so far stayed that way).

Wow man. Right on. Heavy. Righteous. Far out. Neato. I can dig it. Cool. But sorry your camera got wet.......man. Your camera got 'smoked' dude. :smile:

I don't know...it seems to me this has a touch too much saturation... :biggrin:

Have you tried to take it apart and dry it in your oven on low or with a haor drier?. I did that with my old Olympus and my p5000 and it worked both times. They both were dead before I did that.

Take it apart as in How? It's a P&S, the lens is not removable. There ARE four tiny screws but it has been three weeks now...

Take the screws out and then it will come apart exposing the insides. It might not work but it's worth a try. On my P5000, I did this and it started to work after I dried out the insides. Some of the controls didn't work so I took it part again and let it set for a couple of weeks. Now it's fully functional :jump:

I may just be an expensive paper weight now but you'd be surprised at how often electronics can come back to life and work perfectly fine if you give them some time to dry out after they take a dip. I would suggest you remove the battery and don't use it any more for a couple more weeks and like Erik said see if you can take it apart and let it dry out. Of course if you don't want to try and take it apart and revive it I'd be more than happy to take the G10 off your hands and see if I can.

I took it apart yesterday and hit it with the blow dryer for a little bit. It didn't change a thing though.

That's a shame, Mark. I've got a Canon 1V film body as a nice paperweight here at work after my mishap some time back.

Total bummer, especially since we didn't get to see G10 photos from the trip.

Mark, might it be worth sending it to Canon to see what they could do with it?
Posted by Mark Hudon on October 2, 2009 at 11:40 PM
I brought it in today to a place in Beaverton. They said that it was not water damaged and that it might be a faulty sensor. I'm sending it in to Canon on Monday.
