late replay, but might come handy for anybody in similar situation. I had the problem to recover photos from an SD trashed by Linux/MacOSX usb-storage brokeness, by chance - reading up the badblocks-HowTo - I went to 'photorec' website:   

  http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

It turned out that photorec claims to knows about and search for a long list file types, on several types of partitions and fs.   

photorec was very effective to recover my stuff out of the image-file image of the 0.5G SD (I selected JPG, MOV, DSC). That might have been a rel. easy task though, as jpg+mov have been recorded sequentially and were likely well ordered, so YMMV a lot.
But worth a try for sure. Thanks to Chritophe. Check also links to dfrws.org.
