    Formatting will erase any picture profiles or other info that is transferrable between another EX camera. In other words, formatting gets rid of everything. Deleting only the clips is self-explanatory.

    I delete unless I get a restore clip message.

    Format is a good fallback if you happen to install card in camera during shoot while recording. You can format one card while the other records but you can’t do that with delete.
