CardRecovery v3.60 Build 1012 is a specialized data recovery utility designed to rescue lost photos and video files from memory cards.

In testing, v3.60 does a commendable job of finding deleted JPEGs and RAW files (such as .CR2 and .NEF) that other tools might miss. It uses a "SmartScan" technology that ignores the file system table and scans the actual data sectors. This is crucial if a card has been formatted or corrupted, as the file names might be gone, but the data remains.
