Spilled a whole can on soda in my brand new Canon Rebel T1i. Camera shop?

Anyone know a place in suffolk - closer to Shoreham where I can MAYBE get it fixed? I had just bought it for $7 or $800 or something when I was getting off a plane and dropped my carry on bag, which I just put a can of soda in for later. It punctured and spilled into the camera. Any ideas?

I just texted my SIL, she works at a camera store. I'll let you know what she says.

See if u can buy a warranty and then in like 3 weeks, file a claim?

My sil said that there is probably nothing that they could do and in the slim chance that they could it would be a lot of money. Could you do what you do to a cell phone when it gets wet, like air it out, put it in rice, etc?

I don't know of any camera stores near Shoreham (I live in Manorville) but there is B&H Photo and Berger Brothers in Farmingdale. I love Berger Brothers. You should call them and ask if there is something you could do. OR...Call Cannon directly. I sent my Nikkon lens to Nikon and they email you an estimate before they do any work. You can say "no thanks" or agree to pay. It's worth a try!
Good luck
