@SkinBrit "Am I paranoid?"
You don't want to delete all these "junk" and then realize you forgot to lock those shots that you meant to keep.
I would rather go through more pictures infront of my computer than losing those keepers.
The best feature you found your camera has purely by accident.

I would rather go through more pictures infront of my computer than losing those keepers.If I am doing a formal shoot, that is an assignment, I certainly do not want to delete anything except by using the single delete function. This I do as a "first camera edit" in enlarging in the viewer, running through the images, deleting all the technically unacceptable ones in the camera. And this is usually during the shoot itself, provided I have time and the ability to reshoot if I screw up.
Being careful goes back about 40 years after returning from a shoot where I was on a 10 foot high rig on a 25 foot power boot, shooting for a large manufacturer of power boats. A wild ride to say the least. Hasselblad 500c's I think, 250 and 150 lenses, three day shoot. Returned back from the ocean to High Point, NC, and film was taken by the assistant to the lab in our studio, where it was developed. Oh, shucks! In processing the Ektachrome some glitch occurred and the film drained between the stop and color step or some nightmare like that. First dozen rolls I think.... streaks on all frames.
The issue was corrected after I threw a hissy fit and maybe some other things, and we salvaged the job. Three days and fifteen people, about 10 power boats, not something you want to try and shoot over.
The point..... caution and step by step rechecking and double checking and measuring twice, all the extra care things, taking no shortcuts!!!! This is what one does to avoid disaster. Somehow I think the "delete all" feature is a short cut.

Am I right in thinking that deleting single frames throughout a shoot increases that likelyhood of the card corrupting? Sometimes when I've done that in the past, I see little red squares with a red cross in them instead of the image that should be there, when reviewing the shots on the back of the camera. Any one else experienced this? It only seems to happen a while after deleting single shots in camera.

Any one else experienced this? It only seems to happen a while after deleting single shots in camera.I haven't ever ran across this when deleting them in camera. I mean the camera is accessing the card every time you take a picture or view a picture or almost do anything with the camera...so I don't think deleting them in camera really puts any additional strain on them to cause corruption.
However with card prices I think having extra cards is probably the easiest solution. If you are in that sort of situation do you really want to be trying to delete individual pictures? Also I have had pictures that look nice on the camera and really aren't nice on the computer or vice versa. I never fill my card up though and I have an extra in case.

I've never had that problem Skinty and I delete off card frequently when chimping.

I have come across the problem (the few shoots I forget to put fresh cards in my bag). I prefer deleting pics one by one. The ones I like I lock just in case. I am pissed that you still cannot star pics in camera (especially because now canon added that feature.)

On my V1, over the weekend, I accidentally switched to the electronic shutter while fiddling with my camera's settings. That wasn't particularly crazy, but when I then rattled off a 60 FPS burst, well, lets just say that I now have nearly 60 identical copies of a very carelessly composed photo of a sign.
I thought I had broken the playback function for a second.

Star pics?Geez, must refer to the Ligthroom3 rating system or something like that. In many years I have not had the problem of red crosses described by SkintBrit, and I am wondering if this is because I format the card after each download. This does create a need to renumber but it keeps the card clean. Maybe this is related to the card size as well.
In camera edit, the "double punch" of the delete button, allows me to download all the images I have left in the camera. The I go through each image, assign a "possible" rating, in my case 2 stars, and then delete from the hard drive the ones which have not made the second edit. Next is the "grouping of similar images, and another edit. And the final image "processing" which is equivalent to burn and dodge in the old days.
And, I have no idea why I am getting into this on this thread.... just happens to old folks, ha, ha, ha!
And what is "chimping?"

Chimping is what having screens on the back of our cameras has done to us - we look like chimps when they are looking down intent on something!
