HELP! Camera SD Card formatted by accident!

thousandisland SG

Help people. i'm overseas now and i accidentally formatted my SD card worth 200+mb of pictures. I'm using mac os lepoard now... any SD card memory recovery program can i use for MAC?

Also, do i need a SD CArd reader or can i just plug directly to camera to attempt recovery for the card?

EMERGENCY! pls.

These 2 softwares are what some photo gurus recc.They work, however, purchase is required.

In anycase!

The first one is multipurpose one. Tried on my Portable hdd. (it works)

The other 2 are for camera SD cards. But in my opinion not worth it, cause must pay $.

But you need quite a lot of technical skills as it doesn't have a GUI.
