Small query, if one borrows a digital camera and before giving the thing back :D deletes all photos from it are they gone, or are they like HDD's, in that they can be recovered.

cheers merlin-nz ;)

70286 2002-08-11 23:29:00 In theory, and with unlimited money, I believe they could be recovered.

If you are concerned, take photos of a wall until memory is full, then delete those. That would be the equivalent of writing over the memory.

Just dont want them to be viewed by others.

70289 2002-08-12 00:12:00 Which begs the question, why?

"Hey everyone, have I shown you the pics of my operation scars? In this one, you can really see where the incision was made...."

70290 2002-08-12 00:21:00 Bruce, you remind me of the story about the boy driving his new girlfriend out in the countryside, when she snuggled up to him and lisped in his ear "do do want to see where I had my operwation?"

The boy quickly pulled over off the road and said "yes please"

She pointed to a building just visible between the trees and said "it was in that Hospital, over there...."

70291 2002-08-12 09:26:00 If you're willing to spend enough time and money. It's possible to get data back in just about every case.

It is possible to have a stick of RAM not in a computer (and not powered) for 36hours and still be able to access data in it afterwards.

You can also use an extremely powerful magnet on a floppy disk and get the data back.
