I had a card error on my Panasonic Camera. Nothing was working to recover my photos shot in jpeg and RAW (RW2) format. I downloaded many of the file rescue programs I found on MacUpdate. Nothing worked. I tried CardRaider 2.0.4, it came the closest to working, it would show me the jpegs but not the RW2 files. The RW2 files were the important files I wanted. I sent eCamm an email saying I would have purchase your software if it had worked with Panasonic RW2 files. The next morning I had a reply to my email with a copy of the yet unreleased version 2.0.5 attached. They sent me the FULL version FREE to try out. It worked! All my files were recovered. All they asked for in return was some feedback. What a great company! Today I found out about this update being released, I purchased the version they sent me for free out of gratitude for their trust and the quality of their software.

It was 2AM, I was on a professional shoot when the card errored out. The subject was on the move, so I winced, reformatted the CF Card and went back to shooting. I got my shots, but I blasted what was on the card. Afterword, I had one of those "oh S*&%" moments realizing the card (before fomatting) had photos (important ones) that hadn't been transfered yet.

CardRaidrer found all the files and more. Files that had been erased several sessions back. Wow!

I am VERY happy to have all those files back. Yay! Don't need to explain to the client how I erased their photos.

This app worked great for me a few days ago. My wife mistakenly deleted a vid file from one of our cameras while reviewing shots we took. I also looked on MU for apps that would recover files - tried all of them (PhotoRescue, Stellar Phoenix, Exif Untrasher, and Klix). Some didn't work with video files, others that did couldn't find the one we wanted. The CR demo worked like a charm the first time found that file (just wouldn't let me recover that file in the demo). I ponied up the license fee, and got the missing movie file in less that a minute after scanning.

I'll also point out that I also tried DiskRescue II, which could not find any deleted files on the same card. So, CR gets my vote. For me, it worked and worked well. The interface could use a little polish, but otherwise no complaints.

This little app is awesome!!! I accidently delete some Halloween pics from my SD card, CardRaider saved my pics and vids, it even found pics I had deleted months ago. I downloaded and ran the software in minutes and it was easy/simple to use, pretty fast (recovered 250 pics and 15 vids in 10 minutes) and sent them straight to iPhoto, it not only created an Event of the recovered pics and vids, but made an album. And you can't beat the price!

This apps just works as advertized. It's super fast and really easy to use. Well worth the price for saving my bacon and those invaluable images. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
