From Stellar Information Systems:
Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery Software recovers lost or deleted photos, videos, and other multimedia files from hard drive of computer and other detachable storage devices, such as memory cards, digital cameras, external hard disks, USB drives. However, for successful recovery by this photo recovery software, these aforementioned external storage devices must be recognized by your computer.

The efficient photo recovery software also provides you the feature to select single as well as multiple files for recovery. The software supports all major and popularly used audio, video, and image file formats. You can also add new file headers to the existing list. Using the 'Create Image' feature, you can create the image of the entire storage device or selected region of the storage device. This image file is saved with .img extension by the software. You can use this image file to perform photo recovery process at any time. The 'Save Scan' feature allows you to save the scanned information in a scan information file. This file with scanned information can later be used to recover lost or deleted files. Another useful option which this software provides is 'Resume Recovery'. This option allows you to resume the photo recovery process at any time by using previously saved scanned information or image file. For advance users the software provides the feature 'Select Range'. By using this feature, you can select any specific region of the hard disk, hard disk volume, or attached storage device for scanning.

"An easy solution to recover data data from SDHC card"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
Photo recovery is just a name, I was able to recover lost videos along with more than 2000 photos from corrupted SDHC card
Cons
Initially it was scanning fast, but after finding around 500+ photos its scanning process had become slow
Summary
I am using Sandisk 32 Gb SDHC class 7 card with my Nikon D300S from last one year. Recently I upgraded my Camera from Nikon D300S to Nikon D700 but using the same memory card with it, became a blunder as after connecting the card to computer, it was showing "no image found" error message. I chose Stellar Phoenix, it helped me to recover almost all my photos and 2 hours video clip as well but failed to recover another 25 min video clip. I contacted Stellar Support, the reply was "your file had been overwritten and it would not be recovered by any software". Although I was not able to recover 100% of my data still I was satisfied.

"Much more expensive, and can recover my files better"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
for most of data files can be recovered successfully. although a number of them can not be previewed.
Cons
the price is too high, and can not be refunded easily as claimed on its official website. so i have to give it up and turn to buy another more cheaper related data recovery software for Mac, named uMacsoft data recovery from recover-data-mac.com site. it has discount now, and then stellar has discount price?
Summary
the price is too high, and there are some kinds of files like rmvb and jpeg picture on my USB flash drive can not be recovered perfectly, and there is nothing response for me from its company.

"A major scam, DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
There is absolutely nothing good to say
Cons
1. Price is too high and they do not offer upgrades
2. The scan process takes forever, and by forever I mean a week
3. The system crashed after the one week scan
4. Their customer support is even worse then the softwareSummary
Save your money and a lot of aggravation by purchasing something else. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

"The best photo recovery software i have ever tried"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
Efficiency is more than 90%( I was able to recover 779 photos out of 810. Being a professional photographer, my 16 GB sand disk memory card got corrupt and it had the photographs of my Grand canyon trip. This software helped me to recover my lost memories. Stellar Phoenix Works.
Cons
I was not able recover few files which were corrupt.
Summary
Overall performance wise it is a good software and true value for money. I have not tested it for audio and video files recovery but publisher says it is very much capable in that as well.

"Will not work on MTP devices as advertised"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
- Can't think of a single thing that speaks for this software. Even the uninstaller is terrible.
Cons
- DO NOT BUY on the premise that it'll work with MTP devices - it will not. This will locate only the logical and physical drives just like any other (free) recovery software. They are lying on their site when they say it'll work on Windows Phone 8 devices.
- Does not work on Windows 8 desktopSummary
A regular ripoff software created solely for the purpose of a quick buck. Avoid at all costs.

"SCAM! Run AWAY - FAST!!!"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
None. Software is advertised with 30-day money-back guarantee; when it fails they direct you to a .pdf file (http://www.stellarinfo.com/pdf/refund-policy.pdf) not available at their website. Terms within basically say it's up to them to decide if you get your money back, and you never will.
Cons
Everything. They have a network of "third-party" websites under different names wherein are links to download their software (http://android-photo-recovery.com/tutorials/recover-photos-videos-from-samsung-galaxy-s2.html). These sites claim it can recover photos and videos from every major manufacturer's smart phones, but once you've 'taken the bait' and do the download, you're faced with a list of 'recoverable' photos - then you have to buy a license. Upon purchase, all that you get is thumbnail pictures (none more than 70kB in size) when originals were HD-quality images. After contacting their "Support" team, I was informed that the software cannot recover videos from my phone and that their website makes no such claims (easily done due to the "Third-Party" 'dummy' sites in use), and then they play "email tag" with you between "Support" and "Orders" Departments - one saying they're awaiting your reply, and the other suggesting you "keep the software for future use".
Summary
All in all, a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
RUN AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! -
"It doesn't reserve even the one star of rating!!!!"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
If you are a fan of Stellar Information Systems you will try it, if you're not, I don't advise!
Cons
I knew about awful tool from company Nucleus Technologies, and now the new one added in my list.
Summary
The developer of this products can promise you wonderful restoration of photo files, fast working, beautiful interface. But the main function is the recovery photo information this tool won't carry out!

"Must try to overcome your trouble."
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
Easily recovered all videos from formatted SD card.
Cons
Only few video clips on the card cannot be played.
Summary
Just few days back on the occasion of my son's birthday, we all family members went for a picnic. I had created so many video clips. When we were watching those video clips my son unknowingly pressed delete button and all the videos got deleted. We thought that we will not see these video files again. Just to find the solution, I did some search and came across this product, and I tried it. The free download showed some video clips which given me confidence to go for the full version. When I ran the recovery process though maximum video clips got recovered but few videos cannot be played, although others work fine. I was happy because I recovered most of the important video clips. Thanks Stellar!!

"Doesn't work for .MOV video files from Canon DSLRcamera"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
Photo recovery works fine
Cons
Video .mov files not possible to recover
Won't refund money back.
Indian call centre, takes 24hr for email responses, many automatic and they dont ready your concerns.Summary
They say that you need to preview file in demo first and then not be able to recover to get a refund. This was not stated anywhere in the demo (I could see the file but not play it and then couldn't recover it). I ran a test on a clean memory card which also didn't recover. I pointed out they advertise that they can recover .MOV files but the program can't and they still won't refund. Even though the software essentially doesn't work, which their own policy says is grounds for a refund.

"Don't waste your time"
Version: Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 5.0
Pros
Nothing positive at all.
Cons
You get all the way to the end, hit restore, and it opens a web page telling you to pay 40 to use it. Complete bull. Go download Recuva instead completely free, much easier to use and super quick.
