Recovering Digital cam Pics

I was fooling around with a certan female friend last night (god I love drunken friday fun) and we eneded up playing with my digital cam. Well we took some sexy-fied pics of eachother as a joke x-mas gift, but in the end she wanted the pics gone so she erased all of them from the cam. Since then the cam has been off and untouched.

So, I am wondering if there is any way to use software to recover those pics? I would of posted in electronics but I guessed this was more of a software/computer thing.

First step of recovering any important data is usually making an image of the medium. Things like dd.

You don't want to operate on the original media.
