Cool that you found the stuff. Hope you get some good pictures off the CF cards....

Having some trub with the card- I can see the filenames but get an error msg when trying to open or transfer the files.

Tried some recovery software and got the same message.
Did a little research and I think somehow the exif data was wiped. There are fixes, but they are time-consuming.
Might be able to do it when I get Bruce's loaner and download from a Nikon camera.

Man, this is heartbreaking-

I bet it is for you, Jay. Looks like it was in a car wreck. I will see you on Saturday and do what I can. So sorry.

Jay, Sorry about your stuff!! I'll be happy to pitch in for new gear. Tyson and I should have taken pics of the rest of the recovery crew! I know you would of approved!!! Thanks for all your efforts in getting great pics over the years and we wish you the best on future trips!! Like Tyson said recovering your stuff was really a great adventure!! Sorry it wasnt in better shape.

It is mindblowing to see the damage after only a couple of days, but you are probably right about the electrolysis from the batteries, crazy.

Jay you may want to be careful putting that cf card in another camera. It could ruin tba camera reader. If you don't have any luck let me know. My brother has done a bunch of software recovery stuff. He may be able to pull the images.

Bob and Jim- thanks guys. I can't say it enough.

Ted- you should see these things. Whatever that alloy is on those bodies, it sure does not like seawater.

Jon- thanks. I think I'll take you up on that. The last thing I need to do is phuck up another camera. PM me your mailing address.

Well yeah......those old D200 and D300 cameras were made for paper-maché to save weight!

Were the cameras on when they jumped overboard?

My guess is it'll have a nice sequence of Jay wiping out
