Death of the 60D
This is a commemorative post marking the drowning of my Canon 60D at Portsea beach last month. An outgoing wave pulled the sand out from under one of the legs of my tripod causing the whole rig to topple into the surf. The poor 60D was only 12 months old and was a replacement for my 40D which drowned in similar circumstances in early 2012. The event also marks the death of my Sigma 10-20mm, a true workhorse who managed to survive the first drowning in 2012.

It’s hard to press a like button for a post like this, so I will refrain. But I do like the image – was it on the card in the drowned camera, or from a different location?

Yep. Very sorry to hear the camera croaked it. Could you rescue any photos from it?
