Luckilly enough, having been using computers since before I could walk, I
knew there was no way in heaven or hell, that I could erase a 2G SD Card in
a microsecond.
It was a new card, with a fairly clean filesystem, and I managed to get back
nearly all my photos ( not videos ) with a quick self-written perl script,
scanning for headers etc. Then I found photorec, which has a basic
understanding of how the FAT filesystem works and recovered everything
except the filenames.
