You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
No manual needed for this one – click away and let ImageRecall do the magic. Purchased version does what it claims and you will get a good result rather than not getting anything at all! It recovered the total number of files and quicker than expected from my spare drives (Samsung and usb stick). Also, can click through the recovery options in less than 45sec. Includes a comprehensive/advanced recovery options.
Cons:
Trial version was very limited and I was not able to verify all the recoveries (unable to see them all) otherwise difficult to really fault this product.
Review:

Being in media, I archive loads of videos and images which results in me purchasing various forms of storage devices – this also results in a number of lost files due to media failure. I have used/purchased a couple of programs with both producing decent/perfect results so I expect the same from ImageRecall.
Clicking through the ‘old skool’ GUI (it was plain to see that it was low on their list of development) it was obvious that this was built to be ‘to the point’ and to reassure the user that they were only seconds away from recovering their all important files. I decided to verify the results of ImageRecall 3 by using the other recovery programs I use and all (including ImageRecall 3) came back with the same result when using the full recovery options. ImageRecall comes with free tech support which I had no use for since i was experienced and using a trial version. I love the fact you can burn your recovered files straight to removable CD and to an folder containing them all in one place for you.

Conclusion:

This program performed very well and I could not fault its performance based on my needs. Its performance was also of a high & reliable standard when compared against some established programs I have used. My needs are simple and for home use so I am unable to test various other file extensions and media formats. In my books I would purchase this without a problem and I am only reserve is that I own 2 others already (ImageRecall 3 is a little cheaper than my 2 I have). You won’t be disappointed by the trial and its worth purchasing and having when you need it – you’ll never know when that time will come.
