[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 723165, member: 3903"] This is only true if you format the cards on your computer instead of inside the camera. There is a simple explanation. When you format a CF card in your computer, it only erases the directory but the files are still keeping up space on the card until you empty your trash can on the computer while the CF card is in there. This is why you can run into problems when you think that erasing the files while in the computer (re-format in the computer) will give you a fresh start with that card. I always format in the camera (it's so much faster with the two buttons sequence) and I never had any problem whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
