I dropped my camera in water about a month ago. I let it dry and it finally came on and started to take photos again. Now every photo I take is over exposed. Even with fast glass and at 4000 shutter speed. If I shoot at f22 it's not as bad. Can it be repaired for less that it would cost to buy new? It's a t2i.

Before you rush into a repair, which likely will cost almost what the camera is worth, I would suggest you do a firmware upgrade and a return to the factory default settings. Then re-examine the behavior.

If you send it in to Canon, check out the NJ service center. I have had success with them.
