If you had immediately fished it out, removed the batteries, and let it dry thoroughly before even attempting to turn it on again, then the camera MAY work again. If you had left the batteries in or tried to turn it on again while wet, your chances are much less.
If your camera doesn't turn on after it's dried out, then you have to either replace or repair it. Given repair costs and the expected life cycle of digital cameras, it's probably more economical to replace it with a newer model. Of course, since you neglected to specify the model of your Canon camera, I can't make that decision for you.

When my sony camera was drop in the water there is possible to repair it? my sony camera was drop in the sea water. its possible to repair?

Highly unlikely that it can be repaired, salt water caused corrosion and will short out electronic components when the battery is connected.
I suggest you put your money towards a new camera.

Dropped Canon PowerShot into salt water

You're not going to like my answer. Salt water is very corrosive. Once it gets into a camera, even if you allow the moisture to dry out, will continue to corrode the camera and lens elements. Repair shops will not even touch a camera that has been dropped in salt water.

Can the sony cyber-shot dsc-t100 be reparied after it has been dropped into water?

I would not recommend to get repaired that camera which was dropped in water. It will need main board and lens assembly replacement that would cost almost new camera price.
New camera purchase is better.
Thanks.

Camera Dropped in Water Fountain-Won't Work

If you dry it out you may get it to work but I think the cards are stacked against you. The lens will be junk when the water gets into it. You would be better off to go on Ebay or Amazon and buy another used camera.

Sanyo Xacti S650 Digital Camera

Wait for it to completely dry out. If you still have the same problem, the circuitry is probably damaged because of the water.
Contact Sanyo tech support and see if you can get it replaced under warranty. (Dont mention that you dropped it in water, though :)
