Just purchased a 32GB Sandisk Extreme 66mb/s UDMA CF card for my 5D2. It formats ok in camera but the picture count on the lcd is capped at 999. Should be close to 1200 I believe. Will a firmware update fix this?

The LCD only has space for three digits - there's no physical place to put the fourth digit. While NOT looking at images/playback, hit the Info button twice, and you should get a true count on the main LCD on the back, bottom right hand side (I believe). The 5D3 has a space for a 1 on the top LCD next to the original count (999), so now it'll display counts up to 1999.

Nothing the actual LCD output is limited. When it goes to 998 you should have plenty of warning that you may run out soon.
