Agree completely - that's what I worked off. Remove the card. If possible
make it read-only. Take a copy ( dd ), and use that as the master copy. Then
take a working copy of the master copy ( cp will do nicely ), and work on
the working copy. This should mean that you only have to go near the
original media once ( until you have recovered all your photos ).

Also I don't think anyone would consider  Data Recovery to be off-topic on
this list, unless you specificly asked for a windows tool to do this.
