It's how some people roll. When I was working in photo labs it was quite
amazing how many people didn't empty their card onto a computer and
would only take the card out of the camera when they had to put it into
a kiosk to make prints for friends.
It wasn't unusual to have a customer make prints so that they could
delete the files to free up room on the card so that they could keep
shooting, and were continuously deleting "bad" or older files to make
room for new ones.
Very few people are actually interested in this sort of stuff. Often I
think they have better mental health. The people I truly wonder about
are the ones who have their files backed up six ways from Sunday, like
as if at some point in the future people will actually care about their
boring pictures.

At least it was a 4GB card.
When I was running the photo-lab I had a woman come in with over 500
hundred photos from a "Once In A Lifetime" cruise of the Greek Isles &
Istanbul on a single 256k card. They looked Ok on the little TV screen
on the back of the camera, but were such low quality I couldn't even
make a decent 4x6 print out of them.
Of course, it was all *MY* fault.
