Cards formatted, can you recover lost files?
The fact that you "formatted" the card doesn't bode well. Usually, if all you've done is "erase" the clips and you haven't written any more files to the card, your original files will still be there. The original files will be unprotected by the ToC (Table of Contents) and are ready to being written over.
For Apple Mac users, you can turn to a third party software for recovering lost files from formatted cards,
Disk Doctors Photo Recovery (Mac) is a good alternative.
