Just noticed that with the standard 32M CF, camera shows only 30.2M
With Crucial 128Mb, it shows 122Mb.

Is it normal or a defect?

Thanks in advance.

It's normal. It has to do with the formatted size of the card. It's the same with hard drives. I'm sure that if you need, someone more knowledgeble can give you the technical specifics.

f_train posted the following link a couple of threads ago... it talks about "The misleading MB" and does a pretty good job of clearing up the difference between advertised capacity and actual capacity.

Have a good one!
