What were you trying to do? Photograph your gun collection?

circuit boards will tolerate rubbing alcohol (or DI water, for that matter) - some components on the boards vary (switches & potentiometers might not) - partial disassembly would help, else find a dry place and let the moisture evaporate (after a rinse to get rid of conductive salt water residue.
Give Nikon Cust Service a call too, they are usually pretty helpful |

Sorry about your luck, but I have had 2 cameras immersed in salt water, and it likely will never be right again. The first was an AE1p in the real ocean, and it was unsalvageable. The second was a T-50 that went into a saltwater fish tank. The T50 was in my camera repair guy's hands within 20 muinutes of the incident [he lives just down the street from me] and even with "professional help" he was unable to make it work again.. And both of those were film cameras. I imagine your Digital camera is in even worse doo-doo. Sorry.

the alcohol bath is used for currently wet electronics to assit drying them out without leaving conductive sediment on the boards. if it has already been rinsed and dried it's to late for that.
since it is pretty much a lost cause already..... open it up and inspect the circuit boards for corrosion. if you see any... use a qtip with alcohol to remove it. if the electronics were powered on and shorted it's over. if it was turned off there is a chance it may be ok with a little clean up. DO NOT power the boards with ANY moisture on them. if you have send it to the dump. it's dead. |

Sadly, it was on when it went in.
Looks like a lost cause. Thanks for the input everyone. |

You should take this as an opportunity (excuse) to buy a digital SLR!
