There's been various discussions about rescuing water damaged Mavics, I thought this was an interesting breakdown of a Sony A7s II rental camera which had some exposure to salt water:

About Getting Your Camera Wet… Teardown of a Salty Sony A7sII

The author thinks the camera had suffered a brief splash although it looks like it's been placed in a salt water puddle, while it's no surprise the salt water does damage I thought it was striking to see how much damage had been done from a brief exposure.
 
Used to do underwater photography. You'd be amazed how much damage one single drop of sea water in a sync cord connection will cause. Once sensitive electronics go swimming in the ocean, they are pretty much done.
