You can only retrieve photos from the last photo shoot correct? So you can't access photos deleted from card 2 months ago and the card has been filed up a few times since right?
But the problem with that is when you shoot another photo after deleting the photos some of the previous data is still there, which can eventually lead to corrupting your current photos at one point. Either way the previous photos become unrecoverable due to the over write. Formatting the card makes it fresh for putting new data on by recreating the file system with new directories and such. The only way to keep any photos you have shot on you memory cards, is to store them and not use them again. And I know some people who actually do this. Or you get a nice removable hard drive, and back them up on it. Backup as always should be your first line of defense in saving photos, any all other irreplaceable data. Also having a fireproof safe rated for electronic media is advisable.M-C Simard wrote:

I have been able to recover photos from a longer period than two months when one of my hard drives "died", two years ago, I did not got back all of my pictures, but at least a part of it. Obviously if you tries to recover photos from a year ago, more or less depending on how many photos you took since then, it won't necessary recover them.
