Water damage due to flood / Canon 6D

[DianaReich]

We had a flood in our house and my camera bag with my camera and a few lenses was submerged for 8 hours.  There was not a lens attached.  Is it possible to repair the camera with water inside? and the lens?

Diana,

I'm sorry. But from everything I've read, I don't think so. There's sensitive electronics involved.

Where did you find any sort of information about situations like mine?  Did you read on a specific site?   I have a bad feeling it's not repairable.

Note that these examples had lenses!

While not salt water, flood water has a lot of nasty stuff including gypsum from the drywall.

No. It is dead. It can no longer be trusted. I have had cameras just splashed that died.

Greetings,

Sorry Diana.  You'll need to include this as personal property under homeowners or renters insurance.  Time for mirrorless and new camera / lens day.
