ALWAYS check your six... ; this one hurt to watch! Technical difficulty... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdX1nCPVPL8#ws
I don't know who I feel worse for, the photographer who took the dunk or the bride who just lost her pictures!
at least they will have a story for their grandkids.... the was an addendum (if it's true) on youtube that said his gear survived the plunge. ; that would be a small miracle.
If it was 1D level gear I'd expect it to survive this. ; Someone once told me a story (that I can't actually verify) that said that people with the weather sealed type stuff will HOSE their lenses and cameras down to clean them. ; That sounds a little extreme to me, but.. On the minimum end I don't expect that kind of exposure to effect a compact flash card. ; I mean unless the fountain was filled with salt water. ; The pictures taken thus far should be fine. ; I expect that even if it's not weather sealed gear that the cameras and lenses shouldn't be destroyed and might just be in need of a thorough cleaning.
I have by accident ran thumb drives thru the wash that were left in pants pockets and they worked fine after the full cycle
