Miracles Still Happen,Maybe

Last April Crumby or Ray went off to east Texas.  One of them had a brand new Canon 80d in tow.  Anon, the new 80d wound up in a lake where, not surprisingly, it filled up with water.  A responsible party fished it out.  Everybody involved eventually made it back to the CB, more or less intact.  The 80d, alas, was non-responsive.  So it got sent off to Canon repair.  Anon, it was sent back to the CB.  An accompanying message can be paraphrased:  This camera is fucked.   Plus it would cost more to fix this piece of shit than it is worth.  You should consider buying one of our refurbs instead.

So Ray was fixing to throw the 80d out yesterday from where it was situated in the electronic junk recycling box in the garage, together with the 70-300 lens which was still ruined.  But then he decided to check it out first.  So he put in a battery and it lit up.  Then he put in a card and it took pictures.  Mercy.  A Miracle.  Praise Jesus or the responsible party.

Meantime we had purchased a Nikon d7500 which we like way better than the 80d.   But it's good to have both.  We can use the 80d for actual macro since we have a bunch more Canon macro stuff than we have Nikon macro stuff.
