Recently I took a JVC Hard Disk Camcorder model GZ-MG37U out near
the beach on a very stormy day. A huge ocean wave came up and threw
water all over us while the camcorder was recording. I wiped it
immediately. But later when I tried to tape something it said
"Recording Failure".

If it was mine I would dissolve sodium bicarb in warm water and then soak
the camcorder in that for a while. Then dry it out for two weeks and see if
it would run.

But it's a crap shoot either way. Keep them away from sea, salt and sand.
