I’ve had excellent luck with PhotoRescue. The demo will tell you exactly what it can recover before you go and pay for it.

I wouldn’t reformat. you couls loss all your photos for good
I use cardrecovery. (www.cardrecovery.com) I paid 20 bucks for it, but now I think u can get it for free. but it works Great and all of those other freebees on line either crash, are full of bugs or spyware, and/or don’t recover all my pics
CardRecovery even finds old pics I’ve had on there from two three and sometime four shoots back
It’s awesome and I was a little hesitant at first to spend them money fut it was worth it and I’ve used it for almost two years w/out any problems.
Have you first tried transferring your photos to your computer using a card reader? If not, then you should try that.
If it works, you should put the card back in the camera and Format it to delete all files from the card.
You can very often recover deleted pictures from a camera memory card or USB Memory stick. However, to increase the chances of being able to recover pictures after they have been deleted you must not save any new photos, files or data to it.
When you delete pictures (or any files) from a memory card or USB memory device the data itself isn’t deleted, just the file system pointers that says where the data for those files is located. The area where the deleted picture data was stored is also now marked as free space so it is available to the system for any new files to be written there instead.
If and when that happens, then it is too late to recover your deleted pictures so it is very, very important that new pictures or files aren’t saved to the memory card in the meantime.
One of the easiest ways to see if your deleted pictures can be recovered is to try some photo recovery software.
One tip is to try a demo version of a commercial product that will scan the memory card for deleted pictures and show you exactly what pictures can be recovered. At least that will show you if you can recover the deleted pictures or if it’s too late already.
