Brand new card, folder 100EOS1D, I see "0" in the viewfinder. After one shot, it now says 1. After 24 more shots, it says "25".
I now switch folders. The counter says "0" in the viewfinder again since there are 0 shots in the current folder.
I loved this as it allowed me to shoot quickly, and if I missed focus on a shot, glance at the number, and now I know which one to delete. I shoot 90 shots, and shots 34, 36, and 85 were OOF. I could do a quick review (which starts showing my #90), then scroll back to 85, delete (since the review is telling me 85/90), scroll back to 36 (display says 36/89) and delete, then scroll to 34 (34/88) and delete. I now have 87 good shots and can switch folders.
I used this A LOT. I can't seem to get the same functionality in my Mark IV.

ARGH! That's quite annoying. It was EXTREMELY handy.
Now I need to write Canon and have them add it back in firmware 1.1.1.

Good luck with that.
I mean the 1D IV doesn't even have audio level control for video and after all the effort it took to get them to add it to 5d II, you would think it would become standard feature on a 1 series.
