I know this is an old thread, but updates are always useful. I have just installed a SanDisk Extreme 16 GB UDMA CF Memory Card and it works flawlessly in my Konica Minolta Dynax 5D on single or continuous adv.

OK, so has anyone managed to get a 32 GB CF working in a 7D?

32 GB ?

That's a hell of a lot of shots needed to fill up a card from a 6mp camera !

I think I have either a 4 or 8 GB card in mine .

Even on a few weeks holiday  there's space to spare .

Also if you've read this thread you'll have noticed one post stating that after a certain amount has been stored , while the card seems to be storing them , it isn't working right .

Three quarters of the shots you take might be lost , and that's a sh*t load of shots to risk loosing !

Why take the risk , these small capacity cards like 2 or 4 GB are no use in today's 24mp cameras shooting RAW , so use them in your older cameras and stick the big cards in the new cameras .

Dead easy .
