My Canon EOS XSI got sprayed with salt water yesterday and now seems completely dead. Any hope?

My Canon EOS Xsi was sprayed with salt water yesterday before I could get it covered up. I heard faint beeps coming from the camera and then it has quit completely and has no signs of power. I left it out all night with battery and memory card out. Is there any hope? I am on vacation and now cannot take any pictures.

Nope. Saltwater to electronics is like kryptonite to Superman. I mean, you can send it in - it's probably cheaper to repair than buying new outright.
