According to B&H info, no: DX / (1.5x Crop Factor)

Not getting picky - there might have been a new term introduced that few are aware.
(Maybe he read it somewhere in an article... don't know.)

Don't want to get picky but the question does raise my concern. The OP said "full format" and "regular". So a Full Frame isn't the norm? A regular or a typical camera isn't full frame?

Misnomer. Maybe since there are so many APS-C cameras out there he thinks that is the norm?

It has nothing to do which has more cameras the "Full frame" is considered a 35mm size below that is not full frame.

We can speculate endlessly about what the OP meant until he bothers to come back and tell us.

I doubt that it really makes a difference, but if the camera gives me a choice, I would do full format. Basically, formatting wipes the card and prepares it to accept more pictures. Most cameras seem to just call it "Format."

He is either too confused to respond; or the whole post was a joke.
Probably the latter.

He did respond on the second to last post on the 1st page. He says he has a D5500 and asks if that is a full frame. SO the confusion here was with the term "full format" when he meant to say full frame. I'm not sure what regular means. I assume by regular he meant the most common type which in SLR cameras would be the APS-C.

No, the D5500 is an APS-C (crop sensor) camera. Compared to a full frame camera yours has a 1.5x crop factor due to the size of the sensor, so when looking at an image from both of these cameras yours in comparison to the full frame would look to be 1.5x tighter, it's not magnification but rather field of view. So when you take a picture with say a 100mm lens on an APS-C crop sensor camera in relation to a full frame image it would look as though you'd used a 150mm lens on the full frame.

What is the difference between full format and a regular camera
By regular camera are you referring to older film camera's. If you are, today in the digital world they would be referred to as FULL FRAME camera's. ie. the senor size on today's full frame digital camera's is ruffly the same size as the old 35mm negative/slide found on older film camera's.
And there are many more sensor sized camera's in today's digital camera's. Cropped, four thirds, and many more, the difference in these camera's is the size of their sensor. Usually, better quality images come from Full Frame Camera's and larger formats like Hasselblad and other's that produce even bigger sensor sizes than full frame camera's, but today's post secondary processing can make a big difference to some of the smaller sized sensor's.

I believe you are correct. His thought was a full frame vs, not full-frame.

I am not a Nikon person, but I believe the D5500 is a Nikon DX type camera, which has a crop sensor. A Nikon full frame is an FX camera. The D5500 is certainly a great camera.

Full format, film equivalency is the myth that could never be accomplished that camera companies have now surpassed. There are amazing software computers built into cameras that make the little sensors provide excellent results, one of those was the Canon SX50. Perhaps in the common conversation, "Oh, I just have a regular camera " suggests a small point and shoot, nothing fancy; no changeable lenses, good enough for a great 5x7.. 4x6 drugstore photo.
