| | | SanDisk 16GB formats to 8GB in D200, 5D
I have a SanDisk 16GB card, but it only formats to 8GB in my Nikon D200 and Canon 5D. I am using the latest firmware: SanDisk 16GB Extreme III compact flash card
Is this expected?

If I recall correctly, Canon recently issued firmware updates to support CF cards larger than 8GB. Perhaps Nikon has done, or will do, the same? Nill |

I've written up their response in my blog: Canon 5D and 16GB SanDisk card
