• It recovered all pictures from a scrambled XD card.

  woscar2December 27, 2007

  Pros

  A 1Gb XD card was moved from the camera to an electronic picture frame. The frame controls were used to rotate some of the pictures. When we tried to download the pictures to a computer, it showed 4 each of the first 200, but none of the last group that hadn't been backed up. ZADIR was able to recover all 323 pictures, including the 87 new ones. It's a free program that does what it says it will. The simple, clean interface works well. It took about an hour for the recovery, which I consider a small inconvenience.

• Fantastic! Recovered completely corrupt CF card

  hokiemoMay 31, 2007

  Pros

  My sister's 2GB Elite Pro Compact Flash card(from her Canon digital EOS Rebel) was completely trashed. Windows Explorer could only find three images intact. There were numerous folders, but they all had gibberish names and Windows Explorer couldn't open them due to "syntax, etc" errors. Zero Assumption found 718 images, of which only 30 or so were corrupt. I was worried about limitations, watermarks, or other nuisances, but this program was a champ.

  Cons

  It took about two hours for the program to analyze/salvage the contents of the 2GB card, but the program runs fine unattended, saving the images to a folder that I designated. The $99 is a steep price, but I think if push came to shove, my sister would have paid that price if she knew she could salvage 95% + of her photos. As it is, I'm going to see if I can donate $20 to the software makers...I am that impressed.

• Recovered some but not all

  londonITgirlJanuary 13, 2007

  Pros

  This program was easy to use and recovered a few lost photos, for which I was very grateful.

  Cons

  The program claimed to have recovered over 5000 images - more than would actually fit on my SD card! Most of the image files "recovered" were unreadable as images. Out of 1400 photos lost due to camera malfunction, it recovered only 10.

• Slow but effective

  nan21cyJanuary 4, 2007

  Pros

  I accidently deleted about 20 photos on a 1-gig memory card. The recovery process took a while b/c of the large card size, but, except for the photos that were corrupted when I overwrote them, my photos were restored.

  Cons

  Time involved with a large size memory card, but worth the effort.

• Mozart/Stevie Wonder/Paul McCartney of recovery software

  dadixSeptember 14, 2005

  Pros

  Loved it. I tried another program that was to recover all files and it found the pics (multigenerational pics of very close family members separated over 30 years) but they were corrupted. <p>This program found all the pictures and restored them perfectly!!!! Worth paying for.

  Cons

  It was very slow, but hey, you can't rush greatness and most people in this situation care more about results than the time to get there.
