Our recent vacation to visit friends on the Colorado River was great. We both had a lot of fun and enjoyed our friends and their friends company. There was one small glitch when I waded from the riverbank out to a pontoon boat; I totally forgot that my little SX110IS camera was in the cargo compartment of my shorts. The camera was off, of course, but water leaked into the battery compartment, the LCD display and other electro-mechanical stuff.
I didn’t discover the problem until much later in the day. I noticed that the display looked sort of funny with discoloration around the edge. When I tried to turn on the camera it was pretty much DOA. I removed the memory card from the camera and found that all the photos taken before the dunking were still in memory.
Fortunately, I recently purchased another camera, a Canon SX-40; that camera was with us and it won’t fit any pockets I have so I guess it’s safe from the type of screw-up I made with the SX-110.
