An unfortunate situation (AKA lost pics...Help!)

[Billy Ocean]

I recently returned from a 10 day vacation in Florida (The Good). On the final day of my trip my D-Reb was loaded with 300+ pics of Spring Training baseball games and various other things. On the final day I had 10 pictures left in my 512 memory card... as I took a shot it was loading up and the battery door opened slightly and the cam shut off. When I turned the cam back on it was returning a "CF ERR" I looked in the book and it suggests the card needs to be formatted (The bad). Is there any way I can save those pictures? Can I bring it somewhere to have the card read? When I plug it into my PC it says there are no images... what can I do?

Thanks in advance.

There are photo recovery programs out there. Click here (http://www.lc-tech.com/) for LC-Tech's photo recovery program.

Don't know if this one will work for your situation, but it would be worth a try.

Contact me off list, and I will help you out getting free photo recovery software. Don't do anything to the card till then.

they always say quit saving more photos to the card til you recover em.. but when I ran that software last night on my 512 card I was finding photos from last AUG. and I've shot thousands of photos since then O.o
