I don't often shoot RAW with the 1D Mk 2 (same 8 MB pixel count as the 20D),
of the very few I've shot they were between 8 to 8.5 MB each, so assuming 1
GB is 1,000 MB, then one "should" in theory get 117 to 125 images from a 1
GB card.

However, I just reformat the Lexar 1GB card in the 1D Mk 2 camera and with
ISO set at 200 (my typical setting), there are only 93 images shown as
available.

Jim, I think Henning's got you on this one   :-)
