Deleting image files in camera

[Petem61]

Hello All,

What is the definitive determination about deleting image files in camera after a shoot? I used to do this all the time until I heard that it shouldn't be done. Then I read on a well known photo instructor's weekly blog that it's ok to do so.

So what's the concensus on the matter?

Thank you.

"Normally I format my card after I transferred the files to my computer."

I don't.  My practice is to format before any important event.  If I am just playing around or hobbying around I don't usually format the CF card.
