Believe it or not, we have had a few people come here and tell us that they simply let them dry out - for a couple of weeks - and then they worked fine. Take the battery out.
Not that I'm saying this is the right thing to do, but you never know.
Since it's December 14, I wouldn't count on this camera for Christmas, so get out there today and buy the new camera you wanted anyway!

Sometimes taking the card and battery out then letting it dry does work, but that needs to be done BEFORE you try to turn the camera on. Powering it up wet often does irreparable damage, but give the drying method a try anyway. Give it several weeks to dry, leaving all the doors and covers open.
As Dr Sam said, plan on replacing it if you want holiday pics!
Good luck.

ok salt water and electronics are very undesirable mixture. you have a stable threat that the digital camera is performed for. examine you guarantee to work out if there's a restoration place which will examine the digital camera out for you. call up a broking to confirm the restoration proceedure. now the subsequent time you pass to the sea coast with a digital camera...take alongside a disposable digital camera and go away the stable one at abode...the salt water is interior the air(moisture) and you do not even ought to have it close to the water for this to take place...in case you're taking it with you: ziplock bags are large for saving the digital camera.

the only option u have is to take it back to the service centre. if the model has been in the market for a reasonable amount of time they should be able to repare it. if the damage done to the memory chip or the sensor components are damaged it will be a good option of going in for a new one.
if u have a friend who is a engineer( electronics) ask him to check it out first just to geta brief idea as to how bad the situation is.

I am curious about this too. The same thing happened to my sister. She tried replacing the memory card and batteries, no luck. I wanted to respond to your question, because I want to follow the responses you get. Good question.

electronics+water=bad things. you may need to purchase a new camera. let it dry out but odds are it's fried. go w/ olympus 710 or 720 which are 'weather" resistant and waterproof, respectively.
