Nowadays, the numbers of owners of digital cameras is rising continuously, but as their performances are getting better and better, the storage media remains the same. Every digital camera stores photos and videos on flash cards. The fact that flash cards don't have any moving parts inside of them, as hard disks do, doesn't make them perfect. There are times when you can end up with a corrupted or a lost photo, because of a faulty camera software or because of the flash card itself. Either way, your priceless memories will be lost forever. This fact is available on paper. In reality, media files can be easily recovered from a memory card when using the right software. CardRecovery is one of these programs. It can easily recover any type of media file, ranging from photos and videos to audio files. Anything a digital or video camera can record can be recovered by CardRecovery.

The program is easy to install, like most Windows applications. The installation doesn't add any toolbars or spyware to the operating system and completes fast. CardRecovery supports most versions of Windows and requires low system resources.

Speaking about the program's interface, it's well organized and it's easy for one to find a desired option, even if he's a beginner. The program's functionality is based on a step by step wizard. First of all, the user should select the path of the memory card. CardRecovery also supports regular hard disk partitions, but because the size of them is much more bigger than the one of a regular memory card, the recovery process will take longer to complete. After selecting the desired memory card drive letter, the user can select a digital camera brand and file type. The program includes a list of the mostly used digital camera brands. According to the brand of the chosen camera, the program will look for certain types of files, thus making the process faster.

After the destination directory for saving the media files is set, the process can begin. At this point, CardRecovery will scan every sector of the memory card, displaying in real time every file that it finds. At the end of the recovery process, image files can be previewed, prior to being saved on the hard disk, for allowing the user to make up his mind what images he wants to recover.

Pros

It can recover any type of media file, using various digital camera profiles. It also allows previewing image files prior to saving them on the hard disk.

Cons

The number of options is limited and advanced users may not like this. CardRecovery is a neat software for recovering media files from any type of flash memory device.
