Best Flash Card Recovery Utility?
#1
friend got a few too many raindrops on her Nikon DSLR, and several hundred photos on her CF card went MIA... got most of them back w/ a slightly older version of Photorescue. what's the current state of the art for photo/data recovery off of flash media these days? is it all OS X based? or are there any ancient classic/OS 9 utilities that can be dredged up that might work well and be lurking on one of the vintage machines around here somewhere? (btw- her Nikon is off to Nikon corporate tomorrow for professional cleaning and restoration) thanks,

Buzz

I found this useful earlier this month when I needed to do some recovery..

But I don't know if it's any better or more complete than what you've already tried.

Probably can't hurt though!

You want PhotoRec. Here's a little blog post about PhotoRec and NEF (Nikon RAW) files.

Michael Richmann at Luminous Landscape believes PhotoRescue is the best available.

There is always SanDiskRescue Pro as well. It comes free with the Xtreme III cards.

I've used Exif Untrasher for jpeg recovery (simpler), and photorec for full card recovery of jpeg and mpg files (more thorough).
