OK, it’s a total nightmare. I lost all images because of low batteries (I think). A buddy told me that he heard that there is software that can recover images from flash memory cards even if they were reformatted. I’ve Googled “image recovery software” and “recover photos” and narrowed it down to two titles

ImageRecall 3 (http://www.deprice.com/imagerecall.htm)

and

Recover My Photos (http://www.deprice.com/recovermyphotos.htm)

The first one seems to have very favorable reviews. The second one does the same but is ten bucks cheaper. Any first hand experiences with these two? Or should I try something else?

PC Inspector File Recovery is another one. There are more. Some are free.

Go to www.download.com (http://www.download.com)

You can find free downloads and stuff, and i have used some of them to recover cards before. There might be 2-3 that are bad, but that wasn't bad out of about 150 CRUCIAL wedding shots... Saved my a** that's for sure.
