I was using some new software to upload pics from my camera to my computer and accidentally deleted the majority of the pictures on my camera! They were mostly from Christmas until now...have any of you done the same? I have heard that they are not truly deleted, and that there is software you can use to retrieve the pics from your flashcard. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it something you buy, download, or do you take your flashcard somewhere? I know it is not the end of the world, but I know there were some cute pics on there...any help would be appreciated! Thanks

What can I do next?

first, dont use that card to take pictures so it doesn't overwrite where the deleted pictures are.

I just googled 'undelete pictures' and here is one of the links:

http://www.cardrecovery.com/?rid=google&kid=cr2301

This what we used to restore ours. I accidentally reprogrammed the card at the end of our WDW trip, before we got home. We used the card and took some more pictures, so we lost some, but got all the rest back. DON'T USE THE CARD BEFORE YOU DO THIS OR THOSE PICTURES WILL BE LOST!

Good luck!

Does anyone else in your family have pictures you can copy from Christmas until now? If so, this might be one of those things that is not worth the time and money trying to recover. You could always call a camera and video copying shop to see if they have the means to retrieve your deleted pics. I greatly value my pictures too, so I know where you are coming from.
