This topic came up in another forum and I thought I would post my comment/recommendations here for information:
Once water enters an electronic device with an electrical potential (battery) and dissimilar metals in water, conductive paths can be formed causing corrosion, metal migration, and new unintended conductive paths. While a camera can be dried out and begin working, latent defects could have been created resulting in future functional failures and/or reliability problems. The bottom line is that you NEVER want water inside your camera!
Just a tip: If you ever do get water inside your camera, do not turn it on and if it is on, immediately turn it off and remove the battery until it is completely dry!!
