My Nikon D800 CF card (compact flash card) broke down on me suddenly. The card doesn’t work on both my computer and camera, so I can’t access the photos on it. I’ve been using countless photo recovery programs to recover lost photos, but no one has worked for me. Do I have to format this CF card? Or what is the best free photo recovery software for a Nikon D800 camera CF card I can use?

CF cards are the most robust ones in all memory cards. It is probable that the CF card suffers some soft error and becomes logically damaged. We don’t need to format the card if we are going to get the photos on it back. Just leave the card alone and get a professional photo recovery freeware to do photo recovery.

But how can we get a qualified program which boasts formidable features as well as friendly operating interface?
