who could make such a mistake? Oh wait, years ago took the kids to Disneyland for their first time and forgot to put film in the camera...figured it out later in the eve. Missed BIFs? No biggie? First trip to Disneyland? Ouch.

Everything in perspective. You are right. I have done the nonloaded/misloaded film trick, too as well as taking the camera with no battery, and another time with no card.

Send the card to the manufacturer. That’s absolutely the very best way to recover your images. They know what they’re doing

Thank you. If the recovery took doesn't work, I may have to do that, but I don't think it will be necessary.

I would AT LEAST "Bicycle" at LEAST a pair of memory cards.
Keep one WITH images intact while shooting another card .
I then back ALL of my photos to a PAIR of Hard Drives, one for workload and 1 strictly Backup.
[Had a difficult recovery from my single photo drive when I moved]

Hey, it was a mistake. I had the wrong card in my hand, and my attention lapsed. Cut me a break.

Hopefully, you haven't used that card yet and will investigate image recovery software to see how many (if not all) images can recovered.

Hopefully, too, you'll look at your workflow and overall camera behavior. There's no reason to recover / mass delete images until you've (a) unloaded the images, (b) backed-up the images and (c) visually confirmed the successful completion of both items a & b.

Well said.

Following up on the thread about dumb mistakes, this past Friday I negligently formatted the wrong SD card and lost a whole week of bif photos. However, for something different, I am going to post a few pictures in the Nudity section.

Mistakes are not stupid unless you keep doing the same thing over and over.

It was stupid, because I simply was not paying attention to what I was doing.

The idea is that you DON'T have to delete ANY files on the chip for quite a while. BOTH memory cards should have pictures on them.
Camera usually just keeps adding TO the card, incrementing and dating the shots
