Hahaha! A raspberry to all of my doubters!
*Admission: The lens isn't coming out like it's supposed to, but I bet I can get a camera techie to fix that easily enough!
But it's on! And it reads the memory card! So it works!!! Hahaha! Pthpthpthpthpthpthpth!
Alright, so my darling Chocolatemilkified camera has been washed and I'm sure it has had ample time to dry. I gave it a good look-over. There seems to be a little rust in the battery compartment. How can that be?! ;) I see that the little "button battery" is pretty corroded, so I'll take it to Wal-Mart and get a new one. I'll scrape the rust out of the compartment, pop in some new batteries, and see what happens! Wish me luck.
Poor camera!
Yeah, seriously. I have a friend who did this accidentally and her camera turned out just fine. So why shouldn't my camera turn out just fine? ;) I know. It's stupid. I just can't handle using my phone as a camera anymore. The quality is decent, but the delay is AWFUL when you are trying to catch a picture of an animal or a toddler! Plus I don't have one of those *tiny* memory cards and I'm too cheap to buy one right now so I've been emailing the pics, downloading and blahblahblah. I just want my old camera baaack!
So I'm desperate, thus washing my digital camera in the clothes washing machine. I'll let you know what happens...
P.S. Don't worry: I'm not using fabric softener in this load. Woudn't want to leave any *residue* behind now, would we?
P.P.S. Wondering why I'm washing my camera? I had a little incident with a camera, a diaper bag, and chocolate milk. That's all I'm going to say.
