Yesterday I took my NX30 out on a small walk around town with my wife and child. It was a pretty foggy weather at first and started raining slightly after a while so I decided to put the camera away. Sometime later we where caught by some heavy rain, but the camera was safely tucked away underneath the baby pram.
Anyway I got home and left the camera in the hallway to acclimatise, without battery. Late in the evening I brought it up and left it in the living room for another day, but when I tried powering it on today it was a total dud. Dead. Diseased.

Can anyone give me advise on this?

Yes, see below.

Did I actually mistreat it so badly to deserve the camera dying on me?

"Mistreat....badly....deserve"? -

Should read:  "Mistreat....badly....that I likely caused.."

For now I'm leaving it for another night and plan trying to get it fixed under warranty if it still doesnt work, but I hoped perhaps someone here can come up with a solution...

Edit:
Note, the camera wasnt seemingly wet at all, it only had very slight drops

It takes only one drop in the right place.

I would never put my camera away with any water on it.

I also extend my zooms to dry out as well.
