I agree with Dr. Sam. Take your time...
1. Remove the batteries
2. Place it in an environment that has air circulation but is not humid.
3. Ignore it for a week or so.
After 7 whole days, check the battery compartment and with a soft lint-free cloth gently clean the compartment to dislodge any dirt that may be there.
Place the batteries in there and try again.
If it does not work, take it to a repair shop.

Sorry to hear that. The general rule is if you get your camera wet, do NOT operate it until it's completely dry - or else you risk frying the delicate electronic/circuits inside the camera. If you dropped it in salt water (at the beach?), rinse it out thoroughly with fresh water, and let it dry.
The manufacturer's warranty won't cover water damage, so unless you bought an extended that covers accidental damage - you can probably still get a quote from the manufacturer. You can then decide if you want to fix the camera, or just buy a new camera.

I would have said to forget about it, but I've read a few replies here where people said that they just let it dry out completely and the camera started to work again. Good luck.
I'd bet that, if you take your camera to a repair shop and tell them it got wet, they'd let it sit for a week or more to dry out before they even check it out, so why don't you let it dry out first? Maybe you'll get lucky.

A friend put her expensive camera in the freezer for a couple of days, then set it out for a couple more. This was after it got absolutely drenched in a rainstorm. After it was determined to be dead, once out of the freezer, it worked again! I don't understand it but I hear from others that this works.

Follow these directions carefully:
1. open all doors on the camera
2. allow 2-3 days for the internal parts to dry out
3. throw it in the trash and go buy a new one
The electronics are probably shot as soon as they got wet.

it depends on if it is salt water or fresh water. salt water corrodes things and it is unlikely that you can fix it. fresh water is a little better but if it was completely submerged it's still unlikely that you can fix it. bring it to a camera shop that fixes cameras is your best bet. however, my friend dropped hers in a river and thought she'd never be able to use it again but after leaving it alone for a few months it just started working again.

How soaked? Like dropped in water? you're in all possibility out of success. only caught in a rain? try a digicam restore shop; they are able to disassmble the digicam and dry it out, then reassemble it.

Wait about five day's and see what happen. If not check your warrenty.

No, it's broke.
Hopefully you have a warranty for it from the store you got it from. If not, you're screwed.
There's a reason why electronics are not supposed to get wet.
