something similar happened to me, my Canon SLR fell into a pool when I was in Turkey to photograph a total eclipse in 2006. Two nights before the big day, we were taking pictures of the amazing skyline in Istambul at night. To make a long story short, it was dark and I wasn't looking... I said my camera fellin to a pool, which is true, except that I fell into the pool too! I was trying to find a good spot (I was in the roof of the hotel with five other photographers), and well, I forgot there was a pool in the roof and I fell into it.
I had my camera on my hand and a bag with a hard drive, my PDA, my wallet and the kitchen sink.
In the midst of panic I was advised to take the battery off and wait until the next morning to try it again. Which I did. A friend kept telling me: if it was off, you won't have any problem... but if it was on, you'll have to buy another camera.
I guess it was off because the next morning it was working like nothing had happened. So my advise is: let it dry, let it dry, let it dry. And take the battery off!!!
