Digital Software: Retrieve deleted/formatted files from digital cameras
"Is it possible to retrieve files that I've deleted on my Sony Cybershot camera?
I took some pictures and videos of my friend's birthday party. I was supposed to delete only one file but I pressed the delete all files button, so can I get the photos and videos back?" ------- from Yahoo Answer
First of all, stop taking any new photo or video with your digital camera, the deleted files actually are still in your camera memory card, the storage area is only marked as freespace until new files can (and will) get written there.
 Then we need to turn to a professional file recovery software from third-party, Disk Doctors Photo Recovery for Mac (Recommended by Apple.com) is an ideal choice for us to retrieve accidentally deleted files from digital cameras with great ease:
It can open your digital camera memory card and let you scan and select erased digital photo or videos to extract. Once you've selected them, you can tell it where to save them to on your Mac, and even specify how you want the filenames created.

Thank you! It is nice to deal with professionals! In spite of my PC being re-imaged, having several applications installed and being used daily for about a week, your product was able to recover most of my lost files!"
