It sounds ridiculous, but I've heard it works wonders with cell phones that have been dropped in, um, "bodies of water" Did you try putting the camera in the refrigerator with the back open and leave it overnight?

It has a built-in flash, I believe it is 8 MP and comes with rechargeable battery, carry strap, software/cords, and a bonus 2 GB memory card, etc. It got a great review on a website I checked. It even came with a cord to hook up the camera to a TV which we did on a trip last weekend in a hotel room! I believe it is the EVOLT 500 model and the price was about $650 before tax. I had been watching the pricing and had not seen any for less than $900 until recently. I got an Olympus with 2 lenses, normal-to-wide angle, and telephoto.

If you had purchased that expensive camera already, guess which camera would have probably been broken instead! Sorry to hear about your camera, but think of it this way.

I know how that feels. My husband washed one of ours in the laundry once. BTW, he's not allowed to do laundry any more between that and some shortened work pants of mine. LOL. The weather was great here too and we planted a balcony vegetable garden with lots of tomatoes and basil. Although we spent a little we hope to reap the rewards with cheap pesto from the basil and REAL tomatoes instead of the crummy grocery store ones. Oh, Tricia, your camera. I know how that feels.

Unfortunately, unless we can get some more money in soon, I may have to pull the extra money that I have been saving (for the camera, $200) to help pay our health insurance bill due next month. It's been difficult to properly plan for that $800+ payment every two months because our income isn't as large as it was when we bought the plan. Mind if I ask about the bundles with two lenses? It doesn't hurt to dream ;) Funny enough…my husband was like, “Now you have to get the new camera.” Unfortunately, unless we can get some more money in soon, I may have to pull the extra money that I have been saving (for the camera, $200) to help pay our health insurance bill due next month.

Seriously, there are some great deals out there with SLR digital bundles with 2 lenses. Photography is one of my passions and I have been wanting a SLR digital for quite some time. The prices have come down and I got a 16 months $0 financing charges deal. OK now, admit it – you accidentally “dropped” your camera because you have been wanting a new one, LOL.
