Hello all,
I was innocently photographing the beautiful Marmaris Bay whilst on holiday in Turkey just a few days ago, when a rogue wave splashed my Canon 550D.
Initially, I stupidly turned it on to check if it was fine but was greeted by a card read error and had to reset time and date. A few minutes later the shutter would release nonstop at its max burst rate WITHOUT it being switched on. Now it fails to turn on at all and I believe it has short-circuited.
I don't think the warranty (only valid in China where I bought it) covers water damage.
So, can anyone recommend a Canon repair centre, preferably located in London?
Has anyone had any similar experience with water damage and DSLRs? (though I doubt anyone's as careless as me!)
Thanks,
Byron
