How long does it take to delete photos from a compact flash or smart media card using

camera?  Can you do them all at once or do you have to delete individual
images?

-------

As I recall, during sporting events I would have a chance to do a quick review of shots
between action and some would be tagged as keepers and some others would be outright
deleted. But deleting didn't mean they were actually being erased - In a way you are
making room for other files to write over the deleted files. So 'deleting' itself
didn't take any time at all. The deleting does get rid of the preview images and the
others would sortof snap into position to fill the gap. I can't recall if multiple
images could be marked for deleting all at once. I don't think so.
But with the files acquired in a contact sheet on the computer, multiple images could
be tagged for gang deletion, rotation, or saving as a Photoshop file, etc.
Periodically the cards would be reformatted in the camera, which is how you stay out of
trouble.
It's been two years since I left the biz and cameras have improved but the routine
should be similar.

Hope this answers your question...
