[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 321803, member: 9240"] Last things first, yes I did RMA the card. They have it and I'm just waiting for them to verify that it's a failed card and not "abused". I was getting all the information from my nephew on a bad cell connection, and he was getting it from his Mom (my sister in-law). From what I understand she's tried basic recovery software and also paid "local techs" (not sure what that means) to try and recover the contents. Final step seems to be that she may try one of those places that will recover data from frozen disk drives (which now has me wondering if it's her computer that failed, and her first step was to try and recover photos from the SD cards. I may reach out to the mom to get a better understanding of what's up. When I know the full story I'll follow up. As for the location, they got married on my brother in-law's property. He lives on a lake in FL and the backyard was well suited for the wedding and photographs. Here's a shot before I said something about the cord (faces blocked to protect the innocent - but please, don't share this anywhere)... [ATTACH=CONFIG]96312._xfImport[/ATTACH] As you can see, cramped quarters were not a concern. My understanding is that all film shots are fine and available. Digital from before the wedding is there, but shots from the ceremony and reception (and what I would have to assume are all the group shots with both bride [I]and[/I] groom that I did not double up on) are somehow inaccessible on the card.
