CardRaider: Undelete for Memory Cards
If you've ever accidentally deleted digital photos from a memory card before downloading them you'll probably be interested in CardRaider from ecamm. Just mount the card on your Mac with an external card reader (or even in the camera itself if it is a USB mass storage device), and CardRaider may be able to find and recover the images and even send them to iPhoto. Keep in mind that this only works because the memory locations of the files are not immediately written over when you delete a photo on your camera, so it probably won't work if you have refilled the card with more photos (or reformatted the card). Nonetheless, I can image this little utility could be a life-saver if you accidentally hit the delete key too quickly when scanning through snapshots on your camera.CardRaider is $19.95 and a demo is available.
