I upgraded 5D's firmaware to 1.1.1, the format works fine, and it does see all 16 gb, but the count of available shots still says around 330, in RAW+Jpeg.
Does anybody know why?
Thanks
Tiziano

Either way, with a 16gb card you'll get at least 1k RAW, so you shouldn't worry too much. I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Oct 16, 2008 11:31 | #5 Sorry... I shouldn't have gone to that party yesterday night. I did the test with the 8Gb card, and not with the 16 Gb one. Now I removed the card to check the brand, and noticed my mistake. I inserted the 16 Gb one, and, in Raw mode only, it says it has capacity for 913 shots. Still looks smaller then expected, but it's working. Tiziano

For example, when I put my 2GB cards on my PC with a card reader the space after formatting is between 1.86 - 1.92GB, depending on brand. This is because formatting uses space, and they set aside sectors for internal use. Just like a hard disk. 5D | 17-40L | Tammy 28-75 2.8 | 28-135 | 50/1.8 | 85/1.8 | Sony A6000 2-Lens Kit | SEL35 1.8 | EF 50 1.8 on NEX as my 75mm 1.8
