I erase, format, selective erase (oh no!) and just plain mutilate my poor CF
cards in the E-1 and A1 cameras. I guess some makers got things right as I
don't run into problems except for this one odd thing that afflicts the E-1.
I believe that erasing, instead of formating between dumps is ok if the
file-sizes are static. For example, my E-1 RAW files are all exactly the
same size. No fragmenting occurs. However, JPEG files are variable sized.
Whether this has anything to do with the price of tea in China, I have no
clue.
