How terrible!! I felt sick at my stomach when they were trying to pull those cameras out of the water!

I so feel for him. Having recently tripped over a piece of driftwood and almost went full face into a tidal pool with my camera hanging around my neck, I have experienced the terror. Fortunately I was able to stop the fall and only the tip of my telephoto hit water, but there was sand and water splash on everything.
A quick clean off on site and a trip to the autorized repair center for the camera the next day (they did not work on lenses but referred me to another repairt tech). A week later was able to get the lens to the repair tech who checked it out and said it was fine.

Good case for equipment insurance.

Oh my gosh how sad. I'd be sick!

I like how the guy next to him pulls the camera out of the water before the photographer! I hope I never have to find out if memory cards work after getting wet.

Man, he should have remembered there was a fountain and pool behind him.

They still work... You just have to give them say a day or 2 to dry. I put one through the washing machine once.

My friend and the second shooter of a wedding I worked on sent me that video the night before the wedding as a joke. Did not make me less stressed.
