Hi,
just to keep you informed that my Canon 7D and 400mm/5.6 L both survived to water and now working. I will test them both in the field tomorrow morning.

Thank you all again for your help.

Awesome! Might be worth a trip in for servicing still if you can swing it, just to get it checked out.

And I would use the Canon Repair Center in Irvine, CA if you do. You get to choose where to send it. Let them do a "Clean & Check" (that's what they officially call it). Ask about the cost first, I don't know what it is. I send my gear in as part of the CPS membership, but I do think there's a charge. You'll know for sure exactly what's wrong if anything.

My concern would be corrosion over time - it may not show up now, but could be problematic at the worst possible time. I concur with the above assessment to send it in & get it checked out.

Thank you for the recommendations, i think i will send it for a check-up, i know that the camera is working now but how long will it work ????
