another reason why you want to do formats with the camera is that with flash media you want to avoid writing to media needlessly ... it has a finite lifespan. This is why formatters for flash media typically do not zero the files, just replace the directory tables. they also reposition the directory tables as time goes on if the media is used a lot, again to preserve and extend the media's lifespan.
