Customer Review: Lost photos and videos on Kingston 2GB SD card
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this card a few months ago for my Casio Exlim Z55 camera. The price was attractive for a 2GB card and it came with a card reader. Like other reviewers, the card was fine in the beginning. However, the card is now corrupt and I have lost some precious memories of my baby captured since February 2007.
Recently, we took a lot of photos and some videos during a family vacation in Hawaii. After taking a photo of my 1 year old son, my camera suddenly returned an error saying that it was unable to display the image. After that, whenever I tried to take a new photo, my camera would capture the photo, flash the photo in the display for a split second, and then return the same error. I was only slightly concerned at the time because I was still able to review previous photos and videos I had taken. I waited until I got home to troubleshoot.
When I got home, I was able to read the SD card in my macbook ONCE. When I tried to read it a second time, it could not recognize the card. I then tried to read it on my Windows PC. I was unable to see my photos or videos. I ran a couple of DOS commands and saw that the card had 500MB occupied on it, so I suspected my photos were still in there somewhere. I quickly googled for cardrecovery software. (I purchased something from www.cardrecovery.com for about $40. It scans your card and then allows you to preview the photos before you purchase the software. However, you cannot preview videos.) Luckily, I was able to recover most, if not all of my photos. I was not as lucky with the videos as they were all cut short. I was only able to recover incomplete footage. It wasn't until I ran the software that I realized I was missing more files than I knew about. When I first turned on my camera in Hawaii, my photos went back to May. Turns out I was missing over 100 images dating back to February! There were videos of my son when he was learning how to crawl. The sad part is I was only able to recover much shorter versions of the videos, but it is better than nothing. Also, I was able to recover a lot of photos.
At this point, I have not formatted my card. I am waiting to call Kingston Tech Support to see what they'll say. I originally emailed them from the Kingston website and received this response:
"For a replacement and data recovery contact tech support by phone at 800-435-0640, M-F, 6am-6pm PST and ask for level 2."
I am hoping that somehow they can help me recover my videos completely. Before Kingston, all I used were SD cards from SanDisk (1GB and smaller), which I never had problems with. I don't think I will ever buy Kingston again.
