SD Card Recovery?

[cosedi]

My friend lost her images of a recent trip to Peru. Anyone here used a card recovery service that they would recommend? Thanks!

i've used this, comes free with the transcend cards, its worked in the past.
free download, i'm not sure if it needs a serial number if it wants one pm me i think i have some spare serials floating around somewhere i can dig up (you get one with each card)

I use Image Rescue 4.
 
Beware, some of the freeware  ones do garblefile names, do not recognize raw or mov files, and don't always do a good recovery job.  They should not affect the card itself, so if they do not do the job, try a different one.  After going thru several crappy freeware ones, I finally paid for a good one.
 
Note:  I'm not referring to the Transcend program, i've not used it.

PM me cosedi, I've a few spare licenses for Sandisks Rescue Pro.  It lasts for 1 year, and you'll need an SD card reader.  In the meantime DO NOT use the card.

Good advice, Rescue Pro should do a excellent job for you!

Hopefully, they are still there.  I recovered a few from my Windows recycle bin yesterday, but have had good luck with CF cards.  I have at least a dozen, and none have failed since I bought my first CF cards in 1997 or 1998.
 
However, I sold my almost new Canon 30D a few years back to a lady and included a starter card which was fine, but as soon as she inserted her own card in the camera, it burned the camera out.  Turns out, she was replacing her old DSLR which had done the same with that card inserted.  Fortunately, Canon fixed it up at no charge when she took it to the dealer with my original invoice.

yep got it thanks all 705 raw files came off the card no problems (it did take it 1n hour and 45 mins though)
