Got a Samsung 128GB MicroSDXC EVO
The camera does not seem to like it.

:(

Used in-camera format.
The camera powers up, but when trying to record/take a picture blinks red and turns off, indicating a problem with storage.

any ideas beside swapping out the card?

"Currently, all cards with a capacity up to 200GB are supported"...

Maybe try to format the card to FAT32 on the computer first ?
I have not tried +64 Gb cards in the M2
 
Formatting the card from the M2 results in exFAT file system.
The camera refuses to record.

Formatted using PC to FAT32, still will not record, nor be recognized when connecting the camera to PC.

I then bought SanDisk Extreme microSDHC UHS-I 32GB (SDSQXNE-03), format from inside camera -> works, records, and recognized in PC when camera is connected.

Looks like this camera just doesn't work with the Samsung EVO

If you're looking for a higher capacity Sandisk since you know they work, Amazon ships worldwide with their "global shipping" and you won't have to pay taxes or duties upon delivery. They take care of that in advance.

The latest version of Sandisk's Extreme Plus 128GB (rumoured to be 3D TLC NAND which has as good longevity as 2D MLC) would be 371 shekels delivered to Israel

Amazon link for whoever's interested:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/B06XYSVX64
Sample receipt if shipping to Israel:
Items: £55.83 (no VAT because being shipped outside EU)
Postage & Packing to Israel: £11.04
Total before VAT: £66.87
VAT: £0.00
Import Fees Deposit (duty and taxes paid in advance to clear customs): £11.37
Order Total: £78.24 (371 shekles or $104USD all in)

I recommend Amazon because the version being sold in Israel is the old one (https://ksp.co.il/?uin=37594&enter_...medium=cpc&utm_campaign=zap&txt_search=afxPro)

You want to look for the "A1" badge to make sure it's the latest 3D TLC NAND.
