Hi Guys,&nbsp;

I went out today to shoot with an older Canon camera that I haven’t used in a few years.&nbsp; Batteries all charged, card ready to go, etc.&nbsp; Shot for about an hour.&nbsp; Was able to preview and assumed all was well.&nbsp; Came home, put the card into the external reader and it says that it’s corrupt.&nbsp; Put it back in the camera, same.&nbsp; Any ideas?&nbsp; Starting here first, since it’s a SanDisk.&nbsp; I did do a search in this community and saw a lot of feedback in regards to searching the web and replacing the card.&nbsp; Looking for a few other options&nbsp;:smiley:

Update: I downloaded Rescue Pro evaluation scan and it’s saying that the file is corrupted and unreadable.&nbsp; Any other options? Thanks

I ended up using a company recommended by another user on a different thread that worked fabulously.&nbsp; The name is EaseUS Data Recovery and I successfully recovered 145 photos for free (they recover up to 500mb) and I’m more than thrilled.&nbsp; Rescue Pro wanted about $300 as well as sending it in. I highly recommend EaseUS!&nbsp;
