[QUOTE="aroy, post: 570972, member: 16090"] 1. Solid state devices do not deteriorate with use, nor with formatting, so they are fairly reliable. 2. The reason to format the card in camera is that the formatting cleans the directory entries and checks the card for errors. 3. The difference between formatting in camera and in a computer is that the camera will check and write exactly what it wants and in a form it can use and understand. A computer will also do the same, but from computer OS's point of view, which may not be compatible with camera software. 4. Unlike Analog data, Digital Data does not degrade. It is either there or not there. In case a bits of digital data are missing, if the data format had error correcting codes embedded (as is done in hard disks), then a lot of data can be recovered.
