    Help Sony alpha 200 plus tamaron plus stock sony lense, Fucked?

    I'm on my hols at the moment cut a long story short.Went to a small island and took my camera, set it down on some rocks about four feet from the water, what was like a laggon and went snorkeling came "swam" back and someone was moving our stuff at first I thought pilfer. But the kind person had moved our stuff, as the tide had come in rapidly.
    By then it was to late for my camera bag, it was full of water camera two: I lifted the camera out with the tamaron lense still on it, the screen looked liked it tryed to start but was sea logged!.
    Everything was soaked the camera was not switched on, been drying everything out all day, lenses all have dried also camera dried out for at least 12 hour s turned the Sony on and nothing! Ahhh what should I try now is it fucked?

    yup i think seawater will have killed it, the lenses may be ok if they are professionally cleaned, but being tamron it may not be economical to do so. On the bright side, the A200 is cheap to replace
