[DEMUG] Camera SD Card Recovery Results and Compendium (long)

[Michele Stapleton]

Data recovery software will attempt to "recover" every single MB on  
the card. So, anytime you recover a card, you should get files that  
total the capacity of the card. Even if you reformatted recently and  
had only five NEW files on the card.

Most times the reformatting does not actually destroy existing files,  
it merely tells your camera to ignore/write over them. So, for  
example, I have the capacity to write 77 raw files on a 1GB card. If  
I shoot only 22 and then use the file recovery software it will  
recover the 22 images I just shot plus the 55 images from the last  
job that I have not yet written over.
