Well the time of reckoning has arrived. The camera arrived in excellent condition from Adorama. Everything is great except for the 32 GB CF cards.

You may recall my post wondering if the 32GB UDMA 7 cards would work in the 5D mark II. BTW I see that I have the latest firmware installed.

The cards work and can be copied to and read by my card reader and test shots are on the hard drive with one caveat. The counter does not work on the 32 GB UDMA 7 cards. Put a cheap 8 GB card in and the counter works fine. Put a 32 GB in and the counter does not work on either of my 32 GB cards. It doesn't count down the shots.

I think it's a compatibility issue since neither of my two cards will count down. The count is 999 available and never changes.

So I ordered 4 Cheap 8 GB Transcend CF cards which I pray will arrive before my big wedding on the 29th.

I hope I made the right decision. I could shoot with the 32 GB cards but I would never know where I was in the count or whether the cards would register full or god forbid start copying over the first shots. Of course with 1000 shots per 32 Gig card can I really go wrong? I have never taken 1000 shots at a wedding.

But I am a major worrier and I can't shoot blind like that never knowing where I was in the count.

What do you guys think. What would you do?
