Yes put so long as you've not put more photos on the card after the format you can still get the photos back they are not really gone :thumbs:

FWIW, last time I rescued a card, using the sandisc software, and the time before that, using Pandora I seem to recall, on both occasions I got photos back that had been formatted/over written several times before the ones I was actually trying to rescue following a corruption.

So, its worth running one of those programs anyway, as you never know what it will find. Obviously you have a far better chance of success if you have only formatted and not used again, but you would be amazed what gets left on there and can be found intact. For the time it will take to run the recovery, got to be worth having a go ;)
