"Works well for recovering digital photo files"
Version: CardRecovery 6.0
Pros
I had a SD card go bad (happens more often than we'd expect!) and the demo indicated it could recover at least some of my photos. With a purchase, I was able to recover the photos - this was several years ago, so I don't know now how many. I think all were recovered. Therefore, I am happy.
It is possible that a cheap camera or card reader could be part of your problems. Replacing your card reader with a new one would be less expensive. If that doesn't solve your problems, then try the program.
DOES NOT CLAIM TO RECOVER VIDEO FILES, JUST PHOTOS!Cons
Does not claim to recover VIDEO files, just photos. If you need to recover the videos from your digital camera's media card, you need to look elsewhere.
I don't know if you can upgrade from a prior version for free, or if you need to buy the new version. So, you should be sure to save the install file of your original purchase before you download the new version! Contact the vendor if you want to be sure about your upgrade options.Summary
I used CardRecovery successfully and was happy with my purchase. I do not know if you can upgrade from a previous purchased version without buying it again, so contact the vendor if you have a prior version.

"Worked! I am totally surprised"
Version: CardRecovery 6.0
Pros
Recovered my corrupted 2G SD card
Cons
You never know if this type of software will work before buying.
Summary
I was able to recover 1100 photos from by brothers Disney trip. Worth the $40. Just wish I didn't have to pay until i knew it recovered the files. Norton Utilities could not recover this flash disk so that is money lost.

"DOES NOT WORK ON AVCHD FILES - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!"
Version: CardRecovery 6.0
Pros
None that I can think of.
Cons
The trial version found several .mts files but did not allow me to test or view them prior to purchasing the full license.
Summary
I was desperate to recover the HD video of my father's 80th Birthday Party and purchased the full license without researching the product thoroughly. The trial software cons you into thinking that your original files are recoverable and intact.
After purchasing the full license and running the software on my corrupt Lexar Memory Pro Duo stick, the result was 230 mts files. The recovered files were numbered from 1 - 230 in this format File0001.MTS - File0230.MTS.
Unfortunately, the files that can be played back are totally out of sync. Audio does not match video. This software was a complete waste of time and money for me.
My problem has since been resolved by Michael Cotgrove of CnW Recovery who also offers great customer service.
