Default Sony Handycam and Fuji digital cam went swimming...

I am sure your photo equipment got water in to the optics. Even when
dry, there would be some residue. The fix would be a complete
dissambly, cleaning, and then a complete calibtration. I would also
include the proper cleaning of the circuit boards as well.

If you are not experienced at this, and are probably not set up to do
this type of work, you will most likely have to give out the units for
service. I would suspect the cost for this job to be high.

When you buy your new cameras, make sure you get ones that can have an
optional water-proof housing. This way you can get them wet.

Most electronic equipment of any kind is damaged at the beach or out on
a boat. On some occasion, during a rain storm.

I have to say, "That was a very expensive boat ride!".
