Many data recovery companies offer what they claim is special memory card recovery software. These are file recovery programs supposedly designed expressly for the purpose of finding and recovering memory card files. As most memory cards are used with digital cameras all we are really talking about here is picture, photo and image files. These bear familiar file extensions such as JPEG, GIF and BMP. Oft times files stored on memory cards are also saved in the original RAW digital camera manufacturer’s format.
The makers of memory card recovery software try to impress upon potential buyers that only this particular program can successfully recover files from memory cards. Memory cards are simple solid state flash memory devices. Structurally they are no different than a compact flash drive. So memory card recovery is no more difficult than recovery of any type of file on your computer’s internal hard drive or any digital storage device connected to your computer. If you are in need of a program for memory card recovery, File Finder will work just fine. File Finder will quickly scan your digital camera memory card and create for you a list of all the recently deleted files as well as every existing file on that card. You can then use the File Finder preview function to look at all of your pictures and decide which you would like to recover and keep.
