I had this happen a few months ago. After looking through everything I found that somehow the pictures were there but just not where they were supposed to be. The pictures 45 thru 62 were slotted between 147 and 148. I don't know how that happened and it's only happened once but I was glad they were there. Good luck. I know the feeling of losing great shots.

Professional Data Recovery service charges a lot of amount for recovering data, If u can afford that much sum of money u can google for some good data recovery service company around ur neighbourhood. You can also try some Data Recovery Software. There are some free software available u can search them on google but I do not believe in free software as it will end up messing my computer with virus and spywares and whether it recovers your data intact or not is not guaranteed there are chances that u end up loosing your precious data. So I look for cheap and good software. For recovery software, I bought one before called Kernel for Windows Data Recovery, good thing is that it's one time payment and then it allows me to use forever. Take a look if you do not mind paying to get back your data,

If they haven't been written over on the card, they're still there. If that missing number sequence came early in your shoot, there's a chance that some of them won't be available because you've written over them with newer photos.

The deleted information is still on your card, but the space it occupies is now available for other information to replace it. But until that space has been assigned to any new data, your file can be recovered. The only way to erase it entirely is to reformat the card.[/quote]

Bit confused here, do you mean you don`t get a warning that the card is full, it just loads more photos over the top of the first ones on the card ?

A digital data storage unit like your memory card will store the imges you put on it with a specific file name. In the case of your camera, it names them according to number, in the order they are taken. If you erase these images from the card, the space they now occupy is now available for other images. As far as you are concerned, the card is 'empty', because all the space on it is now open for new business. But until you actually PUT some more data on the card, the files you think you've deleted are still available. You just can't see them without using a recovery program.

I'm so sorry I can't find an appropriate analogy to give you for this.

My father-in-law runs a computer company and they charge $50-$125 to recover a hard drive depending on the issue. They will also recover a single file (folder) off a drive for $30. Some companies charge more but you are not trying to recover info from a hard drive. A sim card is not likely going to cost that much.

Thanks so much! I will seek the help of a computer pro.

Just DO NOT take any more pictures with that card until you solve this problem.

Thanks for the explanation, but I think we are at crossed thoughts here.
Without deleting anything and making room for more files, am I wrong in assuming that the card will tell you it is full ?
I am thinking if it held say 500 pics it would tell you it was full on the 500th, or am I wrong and it starts over writing the pics at the start of the card ?
If it does then I will have to watch the totals.

OK. I think I understand now. YES. IF your card is full, you will be informed of this. On a computer, you're told that the drive is full. I've never filled a camera card but I'm confident that the camera has a similar response once you no longer have room for more files.

I do not know how much you know about computers but it sounds to me that you have downloaded to a place on your computer that is not where you intended to put them. Do you know how to do a search of your hard drive? here is a short tutorial.

Type in any one of the file names and extension, you can tell what they are from the files you have left. If that doesn't work then you will need to use the file recovery software to search the SD card. Good luck.

Thanks so much to the many that helped me figure out what to do. I have an appointment with a computer pro tomorrow. I will report back!
