Recovering digital pictures and raw files

Lost day's worth of pictures after a shooting session? Empty or inaccessible memory card? Formatted the card by an accident or deleted a great shot? Don't worry: your pictures are still on the card, and can often be recovered in full if you use proper tools.

Hetman Photo Recovery offers users of digital cameras an easy way to recover lost and deleted pictures. Just running a step-by-step wizard and selecting the corrupted memory card will make Hetman Photo Recovery to automatically scan the entire content of the memory card in order to locate and recover your pictures as well as RAW files. Sounds too simple? Don't be fooled by the simple user interface! Hetman Photo Recovery features sophisticated data recovery algorithms allowing it to successfully restore images from even severely damaged memory cards.

The data recovery algorithm included with Hetman Photo Recovery does not rely on the memory card's file system alone in order to recover lost pictures. Formatted and damaged memory cards often have corrupted or no file system, but can still hold the original pictures. Hetman Photo Recovery scans the entire content of the memory card, analyzes information and detects the beginning and end of each picture by analyzing their file headers. This algorithm allows recovering most of the pictures no matter how badly damaged the memory card is.

After the scan is complete, you get the chance to preview the pictures before recovering them. The preview works in both free and full versions of Hetman Photo Recovery, allowing you to ensure that your files are actually recoverable before paying for a license.

RAW shooters will appreciate Hetman Photo Recovery's full support of various RAW formats. Supporting the recovery and preview of numerous RAW formats by major camera manufacturers such as Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, and SONY, Hetman Photo Recovery is one of the few image recovery tools that are usable by advanced photographers.

Hetman Photo Recovery is easy to use, fully featured and compatible. Supporting a variety of storage media, Hetman Photo Recovery can recover photos from Compact Flash, Memory Stick, SD, SDHC, and xD memory cards, and supports hard disks, USB drives and digital cameras' internal memory accessible through a USB connection. The tool supports all versions of FAT and NTFS file systems, and operates in all versions of Windows from Windows 95 to Vista and 2003 Server. A free evaluation version of Hetman Photo Recovery with full pre-recovery preview is available at software page.

Which one is better? Nikon D40, Pentax K100D Super, Canon 350D or Olympus Evolt E500? Please state the price.?

Jack, I think you need to do your own side by side comparison of these 4 cameras. Its impossible for anyone to know your wants and needs in a camera. You need to think about exactly how you'll be using the camera and what features and benefits are important to you. Make a list of what you consider "must have" features and choose the camera that fulfills all or most of them.

Yes, this is much harder than simply having 4 out of 5 people say "Nikon" or "Canon" or "Pentax" or "Olympus" and then buying that one based on someone else's opinion.

There is no intent to denigrate the opinions of others. They can be useful and informative. However, Jack, the only opinion that really matters is yours.

Your local professional camera store would be a good place to start. Its always best to handle each camera and see how it "feels" in your hands. One of the 4 will "feel" better and more comfortable to you. Suppose you base your decision on opinion in here and choose a Nikon and it just "feels" clumsy to you? Then what do you do?
