Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sorry for loss. Where were you?
Kurtis Hough 2 months ago

Cannon Beach, Oregon (Pacific Coast)
Aaron Eveland 2 months ago

Sorry for the vague question. I actually meant, where were you while this was being filmed?
Cristiano Giardina 2 months ago

Well, then, it was meant to be.. your camera wanted to die in the place where it felt more at home. Canon camera, Cannon Beach.. (cameras aren't that good at spelling to be honest)

Andrew Reid 2 months ago

Nearly 300k views in 2 hours, and a mention of B&H replacing the camera for free off their own back. All very fishy to me. Seems like nothing more than a marketing viral.
Kurtis Hough 2 months ago

Not the case Andrew, but I'm sure this viral success helped rally to my situation. I'm just happy to be getting a working camera again.
Kevin Bressler 2 months ago

But usually when a canon camera get's switched off or runs out of battery it doesn't save the clip. Did you stop the recording first?
wonderahul 2 months ago

@Kevin - No it does not happen like that. Clip is saved. at least for my T2i
Kevin Bressler 2 months ago

that's nice. Unfortunately the 7D doesn't because I accidentally I didn't stop recording during an interview and just switched off. The clip was gone..

Same thing with the 600D!

I had a buddy use an umbrella to shield his camera from the rain...then the wind came along and took it for a ride. So frustrating!

Canon 5D Mark II

No you wouldn't. You'd be distraught, but you'd eventually pull yourself together, move on and do something about it, Jesse.

Wow man. Good shot! My heartfelt sympathies to yr. camera and to his (or her?) family. They will be missed (by the IRS). I wonder how much the coastline cost? In my home state of LA we're losing our land one wave at a time! It's just absurd... Thanks for sharing the video!
Patrick McLoad 2 months ago

That's EXACTLY what insurance is for!! I own a $25,000 camera and wouldn't dream not having insurance....though in this instance, don't broadcast the fact that you left it on a beach...simply (accidently) drop it off a pier.
Sucks man; I feel your pain.

Same thing nearly happened to me on the WA coast while shooting time lapse. As I was walking away I saw this freak wave out of the corner of my eye. It was thigh-deep instead of ankle deep like the rest. Got to the tripod just in time. Mother nature can be a fickle mistress.

At first sight, I was so into the video I didn't understand it. Then I watched it again and said "Oh F***, the camera!!". Nice you have sense of humor :)

I was there a few months back. The tide can come out of no where. My wife wanted to get in the water but I didn't . While shooting a few pictures, the tide suddenly raced toward me and soaked my pants.

Ah, Oregon.

Put it in rice!!!
Nick Botto 2 months ago

It's saltwater, which is unfortunately highly corrosive due to the high ion content, and at the very least it would dry out with highly conductive salts crystallizing all over the electronics. Not to mention if anything got on the sensor you're totally boned, even if it was pure fresh water.

But other than that, rice works quite excellently for most water/electronic incidences as long as nothing shorted and fried when the water hit. I've had good luck with phones and flash memory (and the memory was even after a full wash cycle).

Doh! Tragic loss, im sorry. Cool clip though, I think it might be worth it. ;)
planetMitch 2 months ago

have you tried drying it out? Put the camera in a bag of uncooked rice for 3-4 days... check this post on my blog where 2 5D2s went swimming and were dried

Garrett Wesley Gibbons 2 months ago

+1 to that.
Patrick McLoad 2 months ago

I don't think that works for salt water. Probably too late, but should have completely soaked it in fresh water first then taken it apart as far as possible; immerse it again, and then put into rice for a dry out. (The Cousteau's did it all the time!) Odds are good that it will never work properly again. Should probably just spray paint it all white and call it art.
