Photorec is good stuff. A friend went to the Grand Canyon and did the hike through the canyon trip. He used a digital point and shoot and could not see a single photo when he returned. Photorec recovered everything.

You were lucky you caught your error early in the piece. Taking photographs after reformatting a memory card will cause earlier photos to be unrecoverable as the new photos overwrite the space previously occupied by them.
