My Canons have a way to set your camera so that you cannot take a picture without a memory card. I have mine set this way. It is just too easy to forget to put one in.

What setting is that?

I also don't delete pictures after use. Rather I format the card.

I do the same thing - and I have the camera format the card. At least with other cameras I've had a problem where fomatting the card elsewhere made it unreadable to the camera.

I hope the OP can get his photos and the suggestion to check internal memory was a good idea. It would stink to have taken posed photos and just not have them afterward.
