Does anyone know if the D700 can read a 32G CF? I recently bought one and the camera freaked out. Shot a few images then got an error message. When I looked (both in camera and on a laptop), there was only gibberish.

I found this forum posting:
D700 with 32GB Card

Perhaps that will help.

The first thing I'd do is check my camera's firmware version and update it to the current level before doing anything else.

Thanks. If I'm reading it correctly, that post says there should be no problem with the 32gb, and that firmware will increase storage acceptance to 64 gb. Thus I should have had no problems with the 32 gb card I got. Which FAILED epically.

Can I ask what brand and type of card this was? Also, here are a couple things to try...

1) If you didn't already, format the card in the camera. Does that alleviate the failure?
2) Exercise the card using a computer, including repeated writes and reads of large blocks of files. Does the card fail in this situation?

Here is a piece of advice you can take to the bank...

Anything I ever say is superseded by anything kirbic later says. I call it "The Kirbic Axiom" and it pretty much applies to just about anything anyone else ever says to.

I still like my suggestion, though. You should always keep camera firmware current.
