I have noticed that my C-7000Z takes a long time, at least a minute  
or two to reformat its card. Is that typical of the other Olympus  
digital cameras?  It is not much of a problem since I even reformat  
the spare before putting it away. The several Coolpixes and Nikons I  
have used take just a couple of seconds.
