The CNET Download.com forum is the place to give feedback about CNET Download.com. However, I will note that such issues are usually the result of the files being corrupted, a result of the files being partially overwritten. Recuva detects the image, but is unable to determine that it is corrupt, giving you false hope. You can try other programs, but expect similar results.

-> Special software is not required to recover images taken by the Nikon L16; Recuva and other software recover based on file type, which is standard, regardless of manufacturer.

Sorry.
