The water poured out of the lens, but just some water into the Camera. The mistake was sending it back to Nikon, they sat on it for a week, and then sent it back as non-repairable. So,, I opened it up,  dried it out in the oven at 120 degrees for 30 minutes, cleaned it, put new battery in, and yup,, powered right up.I used the local pro repair shop to professionally have it cleaned and serviced. So,, If you do drop it into water, I would advise quickly drying it thru low heat, and finding a local repair shop that can service it. This was fresh water, I hear that salt water is a killer.</blockquote>
