My sister dropped my canon XSI into the lake last night and it doesn't turn on anymore. I figure its broke for good. But i just wanted to know is it possible that it could be reared instead of having to go buy a new body?

Well, turning anything electronic on after it's gotten wet is a bad idea. You can try to stick it in a tub of uncooked rice for a few days.

If that doesn't work get a new sister and a new camera.

Rice is awesome for drying electronics.

Lol!

And just remember for the next time you drop any electronic device in water, the first thing you do is remove the battery. Then dry it thoroughly (and I don't mean put it on the radiator for half an hour, no, dry it for a few days). Then put the battery back, pray and turn it on. It just might work.

I saved my old Dell Mini 9 by taking it apart (without the battery), putting it in a roasting tin full of rice and baking it at 60degrees centigrade for 4 hours.
