There have been claims that Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery works in a better way that most other recovery tools.

Quick and efficient, it scans through files on all kinds of removable media.

                The Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery software is non-destructive in the sense that it does not alter or delete or overwrite existing data in your hard-drive, but ask you for the destination to save the recovered files. It supports physical and logical volumes in the removable drives. Further, it provides an event log for the activities in the recovery process. With a single-user license and English being the software interface language, it is the most widely used recovery tool.

                The negatives of this product as defined by the famous Photography blog which rated it 4/5, is the complex interface, which does not support new-users, though they state that users get a hang of the interface with frequent use. Though fully loaded, it does not support multiple scans and scan-resume if interrupted. A perspective that this product is a little expensive adds to its negatives.
