Formatting SD Disc

It doesn't matter where it is formatted as they will work either way. The last few SD cards I did not format them. Often I upload the photo's via the USB to the computer and allow the adobe software delete the files on the card. When I don't do that; I delete the files in the camera. I fail to see how the computers format is less reliable. Where is the proof?

My idea of reliable was expecting the card to work without having to format again in the camera after formatting it in a PC. I have had a few users do this and have to format in camera. Granted they probably formatted the card with NTFS instead of FAT32. One user had a driver issue that caused a 16GB card to be formatted as a 2GB.

How many times must we give you all good advice? A memory card MUST be formatted in the camera in which it will be used, after every download, if you want the card to perform according to the manufacturer's specification and if you want maximum speed, capacity and Reliability. It's not a myth!
