Hi all,
Yesterday, I dropped my camera (inside case) from high enough to break it in many pieces. The SD memory card (64MB) was half outside the camera and I tried in two card readers without any success.

While I dont care too much about the card, it would be nice to retrieve the pictures. Any ideas?

If you can't even read the card, the only hope would be to take it to a data recovery company and they might be able to recover it - however if the memory card is physically damaged I'd think the data is probably irretrievable

You can try MjM, we use them at work and they are pretty good and have a 95% success rate at retrieving data..They are pretty expensive though..You can find their site HERE

I've worked with Disklabs before, and they know their stuff

Whoever you go with, try to get a no-fix, no-fee deal
