eIMAGE Recovery
A low-cost utility that recovers digital photo files from defective or damaged media, eIMAGE Recovery can also restore images that you may have deleted accidentally. It works with SmartMedia, CompactFlash, Sony Memory Sticks, IBM Micro Drives, Flash cards, floppy disks, and other types of "digital film." It supports major RAW formats; BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, RIFF, AVI, MIDI, MOV, MPEG, and WAV.
Comment
eIMAGE Recovery was mentioned in the "New York Times" shortly after its launch, so it has to be good (although the developer hides behind an email address). The product has a bright and cheerful interface.
eIMAGE Recovery invites you to select the type of files you want to recover by ticking checkboxes, then it swings into operation, shows thumbnails of the recovered images and lets you save them to disk.
