  | I just lost some images due to a camera or card mal-function.

  | Has anybody here experience recovering files lost from SD cards
  | or similiar due to hardware/software malfunction ?
  | Can you suggest methods for recovery, or attempted recovery ?

 never used the feature, but dosfsck(1) has
 an “undelete” capability.  I'd make a copy
 of the device first (dd(1)), check the copy
 in no-write mode (`dosfsck -n'), and proceed
 from there.  if anything goes wrong, you can
 make another copy of the device and try again.

cheers!
