Am I the only one who keeps taking the same shot over and over again? I love that about digital cameras. You can immediately see what you have, but it's never good enough for me. I keep taking, erasing and taking again. My children won't sit for me anymore because "Just 5 minutes" turns inta an hour.
Actually you should never delete a picture on the camera. You be surprise when you get all those photos on the computer which ones actually come out the way you want it too. If you are deleting that many times to retake the photo, then IMO you are not understanding photography, the camera, the settings etc..

I usually shoot a picture anywhere between 10-20 times to make sure I got everything right.

All that you are left with are the memories and the images-David Cooke.
Why delete ? that's why digital is so great besides the fact that you don't have to wait for the prints to come back from the lab. I wish that I had the opportunity to get multiple shots but in sports you get one time to get it right and the moment is gone forever.

not recently but it is my signature shot. Paul played in the old IHL for the team. I've only posted my recent work in the gallery because I have 17 years of shots in my archives of the Cyclones.
As others have said I dont delete thewm in camera, the LCDs just are never really a great way to judge the shots. I do reshoot shots many times, mostly of landscapes and abandoned buildings, to get what Im looking for. For me it is a case of the day I went didnt get the mood of the place I was looking for. Sometimes it is a case of the clouids were not right or, the time of day was wrong, so it is reshoot. Also deleting in camera is not good for the CF/SD cards, when you delete it doesnt really erase the data and merely overwrites it. Once you upload the photos from the card then reformat it in camera, formatting it clear and prepares it for use.

Mmm when you delete a picture from a CF card you're not gonna damage the card, you're just telling the system to "forget" the picture file and give it permission to use that space if necessary. It also allows you to recover deleted files a lot of the time (so long as your system hasn't used that space again). Formatting the card will write over all the allocated FAT space (usually with Zeroes). Personally I format too, but sometimes I just delete all, depends on my mood.
All that said, deleting not any worse for the card than using it in any other way, you might as well say "shooting onto a card is bad for the card".
Honestly the cards are so robust you can't really damage them with normal use. They do have a finite number of times they can be written on (so in a way formatting them every time is damaging them more than deleting files). But the amount of times they can be written on is so high it hardly matters. You can write to EACH SECTOR a finite number of times. 1 sector = 512 Bytes. The 'finite number of times' is 10K per sector. Way too high to worry about.
Some else worked it out: 4GB card, can be re-written 10K times, 4GB * 10K = 40TB of data recording.
10MB per image file? 40TB div 10MB = 4 million image files
Personally I delete photos all the time. I don't want to be messing about with crappy shots later. Landscapes may be an exception though as you said, you never know what you'll see later. For events though, I can tell the crappy shots pretty quick (I'm talking really obviously crappy though, if it's "alright" i usually leave it for the second round of culling on the computer).
