I get over 200 RAW on 16 GB

what have you got in the second slot?

look at the settings for the "primary slot selection" and the "second slot function"

have you formatted the card in camera

ok, i just got my D800 in a rush due to my D700 failing and the insurance paid out, i added the rest onto the price and got the D800.
great you may think, until i got home put a sandisk 16gig card in and realised that in raw it would only hold 1 shot? if i turn the quality down to basic and small the camera will shoot 698 shots.

up till now I've always shot in raw on the D700 and i shoot about 1500 to 2000 shots at a shoot. (motorcycle racing)
is 1 shot RAW = to near on 16 gig? if so i believe in my ignorants i have rushed and bought the wrong tool for my trade.
or have i got something drastically wrong,

if so i think i may box it back up and take it back. :-(

thanks for any help on this, what i really would like to know is if shooting on the lowest setting is going to be as good or = to the D700 in Raw full size?

excuse me if I'm totally stupid.

Lol, I've never seen a 16GB RAW file. lolol
