I just tested the sandisk extreme pro 32gb in my 7D.
format worked, the display says 2546 photos remaining in raw+jpg. With 16GB card it says 1273.
No issue whatsoever, the 32GB works.

Let us know when you've got 2546 images on the card .

Even though the camera formats the card and says it'll hold that much , people have had the problem that once it's got a certain amount on it , it doesn't store any more .

So it seems to be working fine untill you get home and can't transfer the full days shoot to your computer .

You can review, but can't transfer? That sounds more like a problem with the card reader or the OS of the computer.

That's where the problem is .

Whether this affects all cards is unknown .
