Oct 16, 2013 10:25 AM in response to suziblueby randers4,★HelpfulI'm afraid your only option at this point would be to try using data recovery software (such as http://www.anysoftwaretools.com/iphone-data-recovery.html). I have no experience with this and don't know how well it works.
Albums created from camera roll photos do not contain the actual photos, they only contain links to the photos in the camera roll. Thus, when you deleted the camera roll photos, the albums were empty because the photos they linked to were no longer there. If you did not back up your phone prior to deleting the photos they can't be restored unless data recovery software can still extract them from the phone.

Oct 16, 2013 12:10 PM in response to suziblueby randers4,You're welcome. Good luck. (Many programs like this will allow you to download a trial version for free, which will allow you to scan your phone to see if it can find your deleted photos before you have to buy it.)

Jun 9, 2014 8:06 PM in response to suziblueby Hester137,Thank you for your nice help! I have rescued all my wanted data back!
In fact, last weekends, I also accidentally formatted my iPhone and lost all my stored data on the inner memory card.
But, fortunately, after reading many related threads and articles, I finally restored all my wanted photos and videos directly from the memory card with the help of some data recovery tools, like 4Card Recovery, iCare Data Recovery Free and Recuva, etc.
Thank you very much for your clues!!!!
