Canon 450D and 10-22mm went swimming

They didn't survive.

The memory card did though.

I can't complain. After 4 years of hard use, hiking, rock scrambling, water crossing, beach, boat, and many other outdoor adventures, they finally took a hit that they couldn't survive.

I took a couple of tripod shots standing in about 8 inches of water, moved the tripod, then turned around to talk to my friend. I was wondering my his face was contorting into odd expressions, then I heard the splash. RIP.

I will be using my backup 350D until I can get a replacements.
