Hi I am always getting new digital cameras, trying to find the perfect one and usually buy and sell them second hand.
I just got one and even though there were no pictures on the camera when I plugged it into the computer there were some from the previous owner. They are definitely nowhere to be found on the actual camera (not in a different folder etc)
MY question is not about the photos appearing though, my question:
If I was to sell my camera is there a way that pictures I have took will appear on someone elses computer?
Are there parts inside the camera or the memory card like a computer where you can access photos which have been deleted? Recover lost data or whatever. Thanks.

What??? Probably the memory card has to be reformatted.

Every camera is a little different, that said most cameras only save the pictures to the memory card. Although it is unlikely for anyone to try and recover photos from a memory card or stick that has been used portions of it remain and can be recovered. But if you deleted the pictures out and sold the camera. I think the odds are you are safe. If you did not delete the pictures of the flash stick (memory stick, card) well then you might find them on the internet someday.

I have meet a lot of people asking similar question. The answer is absolutely Yes. You can always recover the lost photos video files from your digital camera, even you have formatted the camera SD card. Formatting won't make the data in your memory card erased permanently. The files you formatted or deleted are still on camera memory card, just not accessible right now.
The best way to recover them back is trying some camera recovery programs. A nice one is Asoftech Data Recovery that helped me before. download free trial from
http://www.asoftech.com/articles/recover-digital-camera-deleted-files.html
This program can deep scan to find your lost files first and then perform recovery with nice quality. But before your media files are recovered, please don't take more photos in case your lost data are overwritten.
Here is the steps you may refer while recover your media data from your camera memory card.
1. Download and install asoftech data recovery program on your computer.
2. With your memory card inserted, Under "My Computer", note the drive letter assigned to your camera's memory card (usually G: or H:).
3. Start the data recovery program and select the drive letter that assigned to camera memory card, click "Start".
4. Now the scanning process will start automatically to deep look for the lost files. You will then get a list of all recoverable ones. Check if all your files are there.
5. Select the files you want and click "Next", and you can get back lost files from camera successfully.

well, i don't how that can happen, other than the owner setting up folders for that camera's internal memory...OR using a different camera's memory card to temporarily transfer pictures from that card to the camera. for instance, you have a kodak camera and your friend has a canon camera...both use the same memory card type...if you put that canon's card in the kodak's camera to transfer a picture taken using the canon camera...is it spossible that the picture (or video) gets "corrupted" because of the somewhat incompatible systems...so, you might or might see that picture in the camera's lcd, but you will when you transfer them to a computer...does that make any sense?
now, is it possible to recover deleted pictures from a camera's internal memory? yes...it is possible, but you'd need special software and patience to do it...
if you're worried about leaving pictures in a camera of your own that you're selling, then make sure, you delete all pictures from the camera...manually...and if still unsure, plug it in to your computer, and if there are pictures, you'll transfer them to your computer, BUT make sure you check the "delete pictures from my device" box...that way, after the pictures are uploaded to your computer, they will be deleted.

Hi,the pictures are stored either on a memory card or in the internal memory of a camera if,there is one.So delete pictures if any present in the camera.It solves your problem

THEY HAVE A MEMORY CHIP INSIDE BEFORE YOU SELL THE CAMERA FORMAT IT ALS YOU MAY HAVE TO FORMAT THE SD CARD AS WELL
