NESToration fascinates me;

mistakenly deleted a BUNCH of pics today, so want to show off great engineering undertaken by 'my' ospreys, to care for the family.

1. Great pics!

Before you take any more pictures on that memory card, download EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. You can probably recover most if not all of your pictures. But if you take more pictures, you will overwrite the older ones and will not be able to recover them.

2. Thanks, but do I HAVE a memory card (on Nikon P900?)

Not aware of such.

3. Good question - all my digital cameras have them

Yes, you should have a card - Nikon lists SD, SDHC, SDXC memory card for that camera. It goes into a compartment next to the battery.

If you don't have the manual (and quickstart guide) for your camera, download them here: https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/products/221/COOLPIX_P900.html

5. GOOD MOORNING! JUST learned I DO have a card,

my 'techie' friend does try to help me keep up with the times!

6. Have you been transferring your pics with the Nikon software?

Since I have Sony (point & shoot), FujiFilm, and Nikon cameras, I don't want all the different software on my computer. So I just pull the cards out, put into a card reader and transfer that way. In fact, I also have a couple of trail cams and do the same with them. For me, it's easier.

Plus when a card develops a problem, or I accidentally delete pictures, I can use the EaseUS software to attempt a recover.

Oh - and when I am on a trip, if I fill up a card, I can change it out and keep shooting. The first trip with my first digital camera, I only had 8 MB cards and filled two up every single day. A five day trip to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge generated 1500 pics - we'd stop by Walmart and burn them to CDR every evening so we could wipe our cards and fill them up again the next day.

My Nikon D750 has two cards - one is for RAW (NEF) pictures, the other for JPG. I think the RAW card is 128 GB, the JPG is 64 GB. And yes, it is possible to fill up those with a day of shooting birds at a Royal Society for the Preservation of Birds in Yorkshire, England (Bempton Cliffs) or at Hadrian's Wall - but your battery will run out first. That's why I carry an extra battery and extra cards!

7. No, and thanks for your great pics!

I transfer nuttin, nowhere, I just post from camera to FB, and then with postimages, to DU.

I'm prolly done with big trips (UNLESS I join my daughter/s-i-l and grands to Ireland 'some time.)

Have albums from trips years ago, when I had the good old not digital Nikon, and printed pics to fill 4 large albums, Scotland, France/Barcelona, Poland/Italy/France, London/Wales/Glasgow, Spain, and family. (The old camera 'disappeared' when I left the house (and husband) after daughter's friend borrowed it; really could shoot myself for that, but a teenager.)

8. Well, you're beyond me on how you post directly from the camera to FB

I've been scanning all my old photos and photos from my family. We have family pictures dating back to the 1860s or so, then pictures taken by family from the 1890s on. So I am used to saving to my hard drive and sorting by date then family name or subject. I post them to my website so other family members can see them.

When I download from my camera, I sort by date (year-month-day) then in some cases add a note as to subject/place. Then there are sub-folders for the NEF and JPG pictures as well as those edited and downsized for the web. It makes it so much easier to store and sort over the hard copy pictures, but I do save the old ones in archival pages.

I'm getting to the point that I don't want to travel much anymore. The trip to the UK in 2019 was our "trip of a lifetime" but it wore me out. We'd planned a trip cross country to Seattle and Vancouver Island but that will wait until the Covid stuff is over and other family stuff is settled.

Sorry to hear bout your old Nikon. It's a major loss, even if film isn't easily found anymore.
