I purchased a sandisk 8Gb extreme card. After a shoot and formatting in camera it showed only 4Gb space. In the camera it showed space for approx 150NEF 14-bit files. Re-formatting didn't help... Also in my card reader it showed 4Gb...
After that I formated the card in my PC in NTFC and then it showed 8Gb. Putting back in my camera "for" blinks while camera can't handle NTFS and I formated again in camera and now it shows again 310 shots...
Strange... Did anybody have the same experience?

Re: strange experience with 8Gb CF sandisk card...
What capacity, in Gb, does it show now? Have you resolved this?
My immediate thought was that there are a lot of fake Sandisk cards knocking around but that's only one explanation.

The problem is solved underwhile, it shows 8Gb. I think the problem came from using that same card on the Canon5DMkII presentation, being used unformatted in both cameras, but that's just another possibility...BrianSmith wrote:What capacity, in Gb, does it show now? Have you resolved this?
