This is also the advice I have been given. I reformat the card every time, 
whether it is in the M8, the K5, the GF-1 or the Fuji X100. It makes 
intuitive sense to do so. Leica's current advice to not do it in the M9 
seems like clutching at straws while they are trying to figure out what 
might be the underlying problem.

Cheers,
Nathan
