For reasons like that, I just *copy* pictures from camera cards. I
re-format or erase pictures using the camera. Also, re-formatting
outside of the camera *can* leave you with a card that the camera
doesn't know what to do with, and you need to format it again on the
camera.
I wonder whether the issue you particually mention still exists? A
multi-gig card couldn't be formatted with MS-DOS, it'd have to be one of
the later file systems.
