Camera woes

My digital camera has become flakey and today I returned from a weekend away to find my compact flash card was no longer working. I wasn’t a happy bunny until I found the freeware application PhotoRec . I almost didn’t find this application, so I’m linking it here so that you will if this happens to you. I almost paid $50 for a something called Flash File Recovery, but I would have had to wait up to 2 days for my authorization code. There’s nothing like instant gratification. Bizarrely, the 7 most interesting pictures on the card remained corrupted. But my brother had backed these up so hopefully I can get them off him.
