I hate equipment failure

But it is what it is. The card failed in the middle of a news story. Good news. got enough stills for the story, bad news, will have to go get another card.

And the bad part is, I did not realize that once the camera refused to shoot and I rearranged the card, it was not recording anymore.

At least I got some photos of the bag piper BEFORE the card failed when he was practicing... AAARGGHHH!!!!

Glad you got some of it.

My 'best' worst story: 30 years ago, we visited my folks in Florida for Thanksgiving with our 10 month old daughter. I had my fine Nikon, and 'shot' her taking her first steps, in front of us all.

WEIRDEST thing: When roll developed, many/most of the pics on that roll came out but HOW? ALL in ONE picture, including her first steps! So 20 or so shots were ALMOST visible! Amazing that even tho film wasn't properly scrolling, they all came out!

I used one a number of years ago to recover pictures from a failing memory card and got most of my images back. I don't remember which one I used back then, but maybe try Easeus Photo Recovery http://www.easeus.com/data-recovery/card-recovery-software/free-easy-photo-recovery.htm

I haven't used their photo recovery program but their partition manager software saved me when changing hard drives last year.
