Recover Deleted Photos from iPod Touch

How can I recover deleted photos in my ipod touch?

My daughter owns a brand new iPod Touch 4th Generation. Last weekend she took a great deal of photos on it, and video from a convention.
Last night connected the iPod to her new laptop. Itunes was not set to sync photos or video, only her music library. When she connected the iPod, it synced. Upon syncing, it erased all her photos, except 2 she had taken that day, and erased 4 hours of video files.

There was no backup of these files on iTunes, as the iPod and computer were both fairly brand new. Is there any way to get back those deleted pictures on iPod? Please Help
