I accidentally dropped my Canon SD1100is in water. When I want to take a picture, the screen looks foggy and gray. I really need help! ):

Every single day on YA, several people ask for advice about their broken camera.
Little P&S cameras seem to be fragile, they don't like to be dropped, sat on, or squashed in a bag, least of all while they are turned on and the lens is extended.
If you (or your sibling/cousin/dog) have bent your lens, your camera is broken.
If it suddenly won't take photos, or does other extremely weird things, it is probably broken.
So now that your camera no longer works, there are a few things you can try (regardless of what the actual symptoms are):
1) READ YOUR MANUAL !!!!!! There is a reason why we get those, they are full of good ideas. They also have a trouble shooting section which may help you figure out what is going on.
2) Pull out the battery for 30 seconds - sometimes that resets the camera. Read the user guide if there is a way to "factory reset" the camera.
3) Check the manufacturer's website. You might find good advice, or user forums, or links to their support section, or a person to "live chat" with or all of the above.
4) Take the camera to a local repair shop. If it is just a little P&S, you'll most likely find it will be cheaper to replace it, than it is to repair it. But it is worth a try, right?
5) If you have exhausted all other options and you have decided the camera is now a paperweight, start trying to fix it yourself. I have heard people say they managed to bend the lens back into position and the camera worked again.
Good luck, and make sure to be nice and gentle with your next camera (but stay away from Kodaks...... they seem to break just by looking at them).

Why is my lens foggy? DSLR?

Recently I have been noticing a fog on some of my photos taken with a Canon 28-80mm lens. I have not had the same thing occur when using my other lenses, so I'm assuming its not my camera (Canon 400D). The fog seems to appear when I use a smaller depth of field, but not so much if I just leave the camera on the auto 'P' setting. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I don't have much hope for the lens now but its one of my favourites so I'm hoping its something fixable...
I always look after my equipment and that particular lens hasn't been anywhere that the others haven't as I always keep them together.
These are two examples of what I'm talking about:

And here you can see a much clearer shot taken with a different lens:

(please don't critique the images themselves, they're only examples to show the fog!)
Thanks.
Both ends of the lens are visibly clean and smudge-free.
Thats odd...I dont know why the links dont work. I posted the question here also, the links in this one work:

Edit
Okay. I was able to look at the pictures via your other link. Thanks.
Take the lens off the camera and hold it up to the light and see if you see any thing inside the lens. On occasion if the lens was not sealed properly when made you will get fungus inside between the elements. IF this is the case then the lens will have to be taken apart and cleaned. If you don't see anything I would take the camera to a good camera store and have them look at it. Most will look for free and if they see a problem can tell you what it is and how much it would cost before before they do anything.
