Dec 24, 2015 at 2:34 comment added Michael C @William Because the file systems cameras use are not exactly the same as the file systems used by thumb drives. See photo.stackexchange.com/questions/46386/…

Dec 23, 2015 at 18:30 comment added inkista To have more room on the card while out in the field taking photos, and to avoid losing images if the card gets corrupted. A lot of us fill multiple cards on a shoot on a regular basis. :) But again, why are you moving files instead of simply copying them?
Dec 23, 2015 at 18:17 comment added William It's not that I need to avoid reformatting specifically - it just seems strange. If I want to move some files off of a thumb drive, I don't have to reformat it every time and remove every single file - so why would I do that with a camera?
Dec 23, 2015 at 18:08 comment added inkista How are you moving the files? Typically, if you just copy them from the camera card to the computer, the originals stay resident on the card, and if you copy and then delete, the camera doesn't think they're still there. Also, why do you need to avoid reformatting the card?
