I usually scroll through the pictures I've just taken, on the way home, while they are still in the camera.  At least ten percent get deleted on the spot, as I can see on the 3" screen that they are blurry or not-so-hot.  Yesterday as I was driving and deleting, I inadvertently hit the wrong combination of buttons and deleted this picture of a (summer form) Sleepy Orange. I had seen it long enough to know that it was pretty good, and since I don't really have any decent photos of a sf SO, I was quite frustrated with myself.  I decided to try and recover the shot.
Much Google-ing brought me to some free software from Germany called PC Smart Recovery  http://download.pcinspector.de/pci_us_smartrecovery.exe
Anyway, I just followed the instructions and "voila" it found all the deleted photos on the SD card.
Maybe you guys do it all the time, for me it was a first, so I was quite pleased.
The one caution that was well emphasized, was to not take any more photos on the SD card that you want to recover from, as it might write over the photos you are trying to salvage.
