NEXT TIME READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
It is possible that a data recovery service can salvage some or all of the pictures, but it would NOT be cheap.
IF you have used it at all SINCE reformatting, chances are they can NOT be recovered.

Don't take anymore pictures and try the free software below. I just downloaded and installed this software and it does very well and is safe, but read all the instructions.
CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged, format in camera, and don't delete or fill card completely. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Select, then click Stop and OK.

Have known the following, but just saw the proof. Received an e-mail with 1.2MP photos from an I-phone and copied these to my camera memory card. These pictures were about half the width of my 3MP pictures on the camera card which had been formatted. The old pictures were still there on both sides of the 1.2MP I-phone pictures.
Formatting a memory card starts a new File Allocation Table. Pictures are not removed from memory cards with delete or format. When old pictures are replaced with new pictures then the old pictures are really gone.
When pictures have been deleted or memory cards have been formatted, a memory card reader will be needed to recover the pictures.
If there are no memory card slots on your computer that work with your memory card, purchase a Targus card reader at Walmart for $8.88 or another brand for less at Ritz/Wolf/Kit camera. Also, they do 3½ x 5" digital prints for 6¢ each on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Now, get your pictures back with a free program at this link which is described below.

Restoration
file undelete utility
Our Rating: (Good!)
Restoration is an easy to use and straight forward tool to undelete files that were removed from the recycle bin or directly deleted from within Windows, and we were also able to recover photos from a Flash card that had been formatted. Upon start, you can scan for all files that may be recovered and also limit the results by entering a search term or extension. In addition, it also provides the option to wipe the found files beyond simple recovery. The program is small and standalone, it does not require installation and can also run from a Floppy disk. Restoration works with FAT and NTFS as well as digital cameras cards.
Pros: Standalone, no install needed
Cons: Limited recovery capabilities works with many but not all deleted files; simple interface lack user friendly features.
Freeware

Download http://www.recuva.com/ free download. DO NOT take anymore pictures. Use a card reader, (10.00) put the card in the reader and open recuva. The first scan I did on my card didn't find anything but the deep scan recovered most of my photos from my formatted sd card. I was surprised.
