Recovering deleted pics from SD card

    I accidentally deleted 150 pics off my camera the other day. I didnt take any more pics and took the SD card out of the camera. IS there a way i can get these back? Im fairly useless at technology but if there is simple straightforward software i can download to get them back that would be great.
    Otherwise if there is anywhere i could bring it to get them recovered?
    Any advice or help at all would be fantastic.

    I recovered a lot of pics from an SD card years ago, so I've forgotten the name of the software I used. But it was free, and there was a few different free programs available at the time.

    Do a google for photo recovery or SD data recovery etc and you should find something.

    Just look for reviews, the likes of CNET often link to them and will have user reviews. If not, just give them a try.

    Just be sure not to save the recovered pictures to your SD card, save to your hard drive instead

    Recuva rings a bell for me too.

    Once I had the same issue, I got everything easy with Object Rescue. I preferred it over Recuva cause it is specifically deigned for Images, Documents, etc, and not just deleted files.

    Recuva is great, saved me a few times, you should be fine once nothing else has been saved to the card since.

    Why cant i save them back on to my SD card?

    Another question i have is when im looking for the pics on the SD card is it ok to just have the card in my camera and connect it up that way? Or should i have some sort of card reader? (i am clueless)

    becaus you might save over some of the clusters of the other original files and then corrupt their recovery. You can copy them back afterwards to the card
