So, I was going to shoot a nighttime endurance race yesterday, and was shooting some of the HPDE guys that were running before the big boys. There was a light rain, but my Canon is weather sealed, with a sealed lens. No issues.

Incorrect.

This is one of the last shots I got before the camera’s buttons stopped working.

But it says ‘ almost ruined’ - does that mean the buttons are working again?

I had an older 20D that suffered a similar fate. Canon wanted to charge me what was essentially a replacement cost just to look at it. So I just bought another camera.

After 5 hours of me crying and flogging myself, it seems to be working again, but some of the buttons are a bit sluggish.
