Not sure whether any of you D700 users have seen issue. Today I got my new Sandisk 16GB UDMA Card (Extreame CF 60MB/s UDMA) and used it on D700. The “frames remaining” showed my previous card’s (Sandisk 12GB Extreame 3) number (some where around 400+ frames left in that card). The camera was firing fine without any issue. Then I just formatted 16GB card – still D700 showed the same number previous number which was there just before formatting. Again I fired a few frames and then formatted again. Now the framecount decreased (number of remaining frames). I then thought this new UDMA card might not have been supported and then tried by 12GB card and formatted it. The problem now persisted with 12GB card too ! I fire few frames, format it, number of remaining frames was not getting reset to max capacity of the card. Now the frame count was at around 300+. I then decided to fire away all the remaining frames – fired shutter to bring it to 0. Guess what ? Even after formatting card now my D700 shows “Full”. Reformatting does not help – I tried 16GB/12GB/2GB/4GB cards.
**As of now my D700 is dead showing “Full” on any formatted empty CF cards**.
I googled around to find whether this issue is reported, but I could not find one. Please let me know if any of you have a solution to this issue.
I tried removing both batteries (I use MB-D10 with my D700 too) and upgrading firmware to the new version. It does not help. Looks like I need to take my D700 to support center now 
BTW, I don’t see this issue with my D300 ! 16GB UDMA card seem to work just fine without “loosing” remaining frame counts..
Thanks in advance for any solution to resolve this issue…
