Recovered priceless images from corrupted memory card

Photography is my passion from the childhood. I was always amazed with the beauty of the nature and always wanted to capture those moments in my Camera. This is the reason; I choose my career as a Photographer.

Being a Photographer, I know the importance of digital photos which are always prone to damage by either means human or technical error. The digital Images are generally stored in memory cards which have always a danger of corruption. The photo loss can be minimized by the means of proper backup of your photos on an external drive which is not possible for me as I am always at Outdoor photo shooting.This is the reason; I always need an Image Recovery Software ready for all my Digital Images loss.

Last week, went for a business trip to Singapore. It was a week tour. The tour was really amazing, enjoyed those moments with my Malaysian friends. Captured those memorable moments on my digital camera. Those Photos were really important for me. This happiness does not last longer when I reached home. I found no photos on my digital camera. I was Shocked to find an error mentioned below:

“Memory card can't be accessed”

Perhaps the memory card got corrupted but this corruption cost me to lose my precious images. I wanted to get back those images at any cost. I spent a few time on Internet and found a good image recovery software as a solution to my problem.

Stellar phoenix photo recovery software helped me to get back my precious images. This is an easy to use image recovery tool which can recover the images of any format including JPEG, GIF, PNG etc from any storage media including memory hard, external hard drive, memory stick etc without causing any loss of data. I tried the free download version. Not only, it previews all my images but the videos previously captured and stored on the Card. After previewed those images, purchased the software online from here.
