My rebel T3i 600d has been left out in the rain
On saturday my idiot of a brother took my camera for a video he was doing and subsequently left it in the garden. It then began to rain and I was unaware that it was out there until late sunday afternoon. As you can image it is not turning on and a mist seems to appear on the LCD screen. Is it the end of my camera or is there hope?

It is more than likely dead, as there is a 300 volt charge on the flash capacitor and the water acts as a conductor and burns out parts of other circuits. You can try taking out the battery and putting in a ziplock bag with dry rice and see if will work, as it does with some cell phones, but remember that cell phones don't have a built in high voltage flash circuit
