Recovering Files

Verb

I recently formatted my Camera SD Card and only after I had then used the Camera for a few days I then realized I hadn't saved the pictures that where originally on there.

Is there a way of recovering them (Even after the SD Card has been used again)

I've tried a few software's but they are only showing me the most recent pictures. Nothing from before I formatted it.

I did this and used recuva to retrieve the photos I had deleted but I hadn't used the camera since the deletion.

ZAR is another one I've used successfully in the past: http://www.z-a-recovery.com/tutorials/digital-image-recovery.aspx

Verb

I don't believe it is possible to retrieve the photos after formatting the SD Card and reusing it.

I've tried 4 different bits of software all with no joy

Have you tried this Tenorshare SD card data recovery mac, I used it to recover my lost files last time and it get back most of them.

in recuva, if you have not enabled "Deep Scan" then I would give it another go.

PhotoRec is another recommendation.

SD cards (unlike XD cards) have wear limiting technology built-in. This means that each time you take a photo, the space it takes up on the card is marked as used x number of times. If you delete the photo, or format the card, the next photo you take will be saved to the next part of the card with the lowest usage count.

This is why it is possible to recover your images.
