My digital camera got wet in the rain and now it won't turn on. Is it the battery or the actual camera?

Question

I was wondering if I should try buying a new battery or just a new camera all together...

I just got it like two weeks ago so I'm pretty upset.

Answer 1

Only a repairman can tell for sure.

If you plan on getting your camera wet on an ongoing basis, you may want to look at the new waterproof Pentax and  "SW" model Olympus cameras.

Answer 2

First off remove the batteries and let it air dry, borrow another battery once the camera has dried out and see if it will go on. That will tell the tale.
