I had about 400 images from Chile and I did this in the camera (Contax U4R). Does this mean I am totally out of luck? My heart leapt into my throat when I realized my mistake.

Accidentally Reformatted Card

Gregory,
No problem! Just dont do anything more with the card in your camera!
There are several very good restore programs. With Lexar and Sandisk the software comes on the card and I simply copy it to my hard drive.
What system do you uuse Mac OS X or Windows PC?
What make of card? I may be able to replace the free software that you accidentally erased????
If not there are plenty of excellent restore programs to get.

It is a lexar SD 1gb. Mac OS X. I don't have a card reader, I import from the camera. When I realized what I did, I removed the card from the camers. I took it to a friend who has a data recovery program. It did not find any data. Hopefully there are other solutions. Thanks for your help.
What data recovery program did your friend try?
Where are you located? I'm in Los Angeles.
How big a file can I send you?
Give me you email and I'll send you the utility!
Or else I'll post it on my .mac site.
I have to go out now but will deal with it first thing in am.
I have other rescue software too. One way or another we'll get you pics back even if I have to do it myself, LOL!

Have a look at my name and I'll give you 3 guesses. My e-mail is brooklyn-g@earthlink.net. I really appreciate you helping me out. I hope to be sending you some cool pictures from Valparaiso soon.
