One my friends , in the name of shooting the beauty of lake Barrie (Canada), drops his camera into 4 feet icy waters. He said it took almost 5+ seconds for him to get it back from the depths. T1i is not even a weather/dust proof. It's a normal one. He put it in a bag of rice (yes RICE, if I heard it right). And the 3rd day, the miracle happens. The camera resurrects! The camera means a lot to him, like bread winner for his family. He thrives by street photography. Now he's writing a letter to Canon appreciating the resiliency of the "Rebel".

I capsized a kayak in the Mekong river and dunked my 5D III. Did the same thing, the rice absorbs the water and helps dry it out.
Worked fine ever since, although the lens never focused quite as well afterwards. Luckily it was only a cheap lens rather than one of my good ones. (cheap enough to fall under the insurance threshold)

I know how it would feel like when you drop a machine like 5D-III into the waters. Glad it woke up again. I think 5D is a bit of weather proof build?

After a couple of days, it will start to behave badly; there is a lot of mechanical dohickies in a camera, and rust will get to them.
Rice is OK, but not enough, it is not a dessicant, especially if the camera was under water; at best you should put it in a dry warm air current (hair dryer on low heat setting).
Rice will not go into all the small spaces inside the camera.
Anyway, good luck with that.
I'd rather be phishing!

Yep , makes sense. Waking up is not enough, I doubted if it'd continue to perform as good as before.
I was thinking if I can suggest to open the camera body and keep it open with a sack full of silica bags, It might pull up some more moist from the interiors. & Dry air would definitely help.

I'll just leave this here...

Durability has always been one of Pentax's strong suits, and the K-1 is no exception with a stainless steel chassis covered in a magnesium alloy shell that is tough and lightweight. Also, the K-1 is sealed in 87 places to ensure no rain or dust will take your camera out of commission. The camera is designed to handle freezing temperatures as well, with a rating down to 14°F.

Hi ho! Hi ho! A kicking we will go.
We will be rejoicing
a kicking trolls hi ho!
Inspired by recent troll activity in the Lounge.
There seem to be at least two incarnations of the same troll in this weekend's messages. Can you spot them? (One has already been kicked into oblivion).
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

According to Utah law, it is illegal to cause a catastrophe.
OK, then...
Connecticut law states a pickle is not legally a pickle until it bounces...
What?
It's illegal to use explosive golf balls in Massachusetts.
I am curious as to why this law was needed.

Is this an attempt to stop Trump?

No, it's in his support, subliminally expressing "Hey, at least Trump ain't this dumb!"

Well you wouldn't want it to be legal, would you?

Makes sense to me. You've obviously never pickled!

It's quite a common prank for the hazing of new club members to tamper with the ball in some way. In the UK this specific jape is also illegal. It's just that it would fall under more general legislation.

So it's legal to use explosive golf balls in Washington DC?!
