A bigger question is, why are you filling up the card to the point of bursting anyway?

I have a daughter who used to do this (maybe still does). She would fill her cheap point and shoot's internal memory with photos, then do something dumb and erase every one of them. She continued doing this even after getting a camera that used an sd card. Every time she would be all upset over losing her priceless pictures. I just could not convince her to transfer them to her computer.

If I go out with my camera and take five shots or 100 shots, I transfer them to my computer when I get home and reformat the card. I do this while it is still in the camera. I've never lost a photo.

Part of the problem is that these cards are not all identical, neither are the card readers, nor the cameras, nor the computers.

These are memory devices, and they have a file system structure applied by formatting them. If you format the card in the camera, then using the camera to delete individual images should not cause a problem, since the cameras OS and the card format should be completely compatible.

However, if you format the card with a card reader and your computer then there can be differences that could cause problems of varying kinds. Keeping things consistent is important.

As mentioned by Jeep Daddy, there can be other compatibility issues that can be problematic. It is important to read the instructions and compatibility information, since the devil is usually in the details.

Even the best products can fail if used incorrectly. Keeping things simple and consistent usually helps.
