How long will it take for my camera to be repair?

How long is the warranty that i get on my camera?
All cameras have a warranty of 90 days with a few exceptions.

The Warranty of course does not cover abuse or damage, such as dropping the camera or getting sand in it.

Can water damaged cameras be repaired?
No. A camera that has had water spray or water splash damage, might be repaired. But a camera that has been immersed in water is finished. Even if it was only immersed for one second, it is still unrepairable. What happens is the water gets into the electronics and the small mechanical parts where it is not possible for a repairmen to reach. Rust and corrosion slowly starts damaging the electronics and the small mechanical parts. The camera may work properly for days or months, but as the corrosion spreads the camera will fail in time. Fresh water spray or splash is bad for a camera and it needs to be cleaned quickly before corrosion sets in. Salt water spray or splash is acid to a camera. The best solution is to buy a cheap throw-away plastic camera when you need pictures of water sports. We will qualify our statement by saying that any camera can be repaired, no matter what type of damage it has, but the cost to replace the mechanical parts or electronic parts, and the labor involved, would cost enough to buy two or three replacement cameras of the same type.
