Why Deleted Photos Can Be Recovered from Digital Camera?

A few questions about recovering photos from digital camera.

Q1: I lost the photos on my computer. So now my only other option is to recover the photos on the camera's memory stick! Is that even possible?

Q2: Can you recover your deleted camera photos and videos after you accidently delete them? I was using with my camera when I accidentally pressed the format button and deleted all my photos and videos. I panicked so I decided to take a picture to make sure it wasn't my imagination. To my horror, I had deleted all my 1900 and something pictures and videos. My 4GB core micro memory card was close to full and I have a Canon camera, if that helps. Please, I NEED to get these pictures and videos back ASAP. Is there any hope?
