My stupid phone corrupted my whole Memory Stick, and couldn't recover anything.

1. Complete deletion requires me to get into menu.
2. Quick format requires me to only press 2 buttons in succession.

I'm refering to most Nikon DSLR. Is there a point of arguing this? I mean it's the same damn thing! And don't try to manipulate my quotes. I did say pretty clearly quick format is much quicker FOR ME.

Hey, I'm not manipulating anything.
- I said that "a complete deletion is fast and safe", knowing very well that there are several ways of performing that action, "quick format" being one of the ways.
- Then you stated that quick format is easi-er for you (Implying: ... than a complete deletion).
- Finally I remarked, which you then admitted above, that quick format is one way of performing a complete deletion, which makes your previous implification invalid.

Had you written simply that "Quick format is the easiest way for me" it wouldn't (necessarily) imply that a quick format is something else than a deletion, and I wouldn't respond to it.

Although Quick format and complete deletion results the same thing, but the process of doing it is quite different. When you say complete deletion, the first thing which came into my mind is selecting all the files manually and delete them. And no, I never implied that complete deletion = quick format, which is why I accuse you of manipulating my post.

So, yes, quick format is still easier than complete deletion for me, at least on my camera. And if you want proof, I can always show it to you.
