Wow.
That’s all I have to say.
It seems that a Canon EOS 1000D was dropped into the Pacific Ocean in 2010.
The photos are still on the Sandisk Extreme III card. Awesome story.
Actual story: found off the end of a wharf in Deep Bay, BC while I was diving on a job for the harbour. I removed the SD card, cleaned it up, stuck it in a card reader and after being underwater in a corroding camera since August 2010 – it works! Approximately 50 pictures on the card from a family vacation. If you know a fire fighter from British Columbia whose team won the Pacific Regional Firefit competition, has a lovely wife and (now) 2 year old daughter – let me know. I would love to get them their vacation photos
Go visit Markus Thompson’s Google+ for the whole story.

I guess now you all know what brand of CF cards to get!

That is an awesome story! I really hope they find out who the camera belongs to!
Wow! I never would of imagined the card would still work after all that underwater time. Good to know!
I read that story recently, so cool! And I like the new blog look:)
Love this story. Thanks for sharing.
At least he’ll get his memories back, not the lens or the body I guess !
So cool, I really hope he finds the family that would be an aazing story!
WOW. I would freak if my camera ended up like that.
