The product is simple to use and operates at various levels of data recovery. My recovery required the most intensive effort but almost all data were recovered even though the SD card had been reformatted. Those pictures that had been overwritten were not recoverable, through no fault of this excellent product.

I highly recommend it for image recovery from a digital camera card.

I purchased the Lexar Image Rescue 2.0 software because I was having trouble with two Lexar 1GB Professional CompactFlash memory cards. The case containing the software CD arrived broken. The installation instructions that came with the software are poor and I had to contact Lexar for further instructions. Their recommendation was to install once, remove, and install again. Did not make a lot of sense but it did work.

At the end, the software did not solve my problem, it recovered frames containing checkers from 3 or 4 different pictures. Which led me to eventually discover that the Lexar memory cards were not compatible with my camera (Canon 20D). Lexar replaced the cards with new compatible cards for free, shipment of the bad cards not included. Time and money wasted.
