LOST PICTURES ON SD CARD
Hi,
My Minolta Dimage G500 battery was shot, so I ordered a new one from Ebatts. I used the new one for about 3 minutes and my camera died. Nothing works. Even worse, the SD card says there are no pictures, and that the card is unformatted. The original battery is 3.7v 780mah; the new battery is 3.7v 850mah. Could the difference smoke my camera?
Also, is there any way to salvage the pictures on the SD card, or are they gone forever?
Thanks!

Card reader on my pc says the card needs to be formatted.
Could the difference in milliamps have toasted the camera?

If you are referencing the battery...that I wouldn't know. Was your battery replacement for the camera EXACT? Ideally, you want to get the SAME battery as what was originally supplied.

GARYCASE, you're a stellar fellow!
Thanks ... glad to be of assistance :-)
What tells you that your SD card is unformatted? The camera? or do you have a card reader that displays the files you have on the card?
As for picture salvaging, depends on what state the camera was in when it wrote the data to the SD card.
