I FOUND OUT THE ANSWER !!!! (I THINK....)

upon further testing, the symptom only happen when using the 16GB SANDISK ULTRA II

but not with other cards

shooting all RAW with that card, turned out OK
shooting all JPEG with that card, turned out OK
but shooting RAW+JPEG with that card, produced an ALL JPEG files

I only have 1 of that 16GB SANDISK ULTRA II card, so can't compare

anybody can concur ?

Very interesting. Probably has to do with the file structure of that card.

I got my Nikon D5000 a month ago and I am experiencing the same problem. When shooting in RAW+JPEG I get two identical JPEGs (I think they are the same file size as well which would suggest that the camera has not captured in RAW format) If I shoot RAW only - no problem. I am using Sandisk*Secure*Digital*(SD)*Extreme*III*-*4GB*SDHC Any update on the problem?

Thanks

Update: Apparently the problem is with windows explorer and the fact that recent Nikon DSLRs cannot be set as Mass Storage Devices. Either a Card Reader should be used or the supplied Nikon software to transfer the images from the DSLR to the PC, something like Nikon Transfer to get the images off the camera. Otherwise, Windows is likely to interfere and we'll see problems like this whenever we shoot Raw + JPEG. The file that doesn't have "JPEG Image" beside it is actually the NEF, but Windows will extract the embedded JPEG from it and give that to us instead.
