Any issues formatting a >32GB SDXC card FAT 32 and using it?

Has anyone had issues formatting a >32GB SDXC SD card fat 32 and using it reliably in their dashcam?

I'm expecting a Panorama G dashcam next week and want a nice large card to save some driving footage later in the month when I go on vacation. I'm thinking about something like this PNY 128GB SD card for $58 and using FAT32 Format to convert it from exFAT to FAT32 to make it usable in the camera. Besides a compatibility issue, after reading this article, I'm a little concerned about whether or not the FAT32 Format utility will overwrite the "protected area" of the card and affect its performance or reliability. Unfortunately the SD Formatter 4.0 utility will not convert exFAT to FAT 32.

Any thoughts?

hi,
you want to pose your question in the proper forum to get the right support from folks who use that model.

this threads speaks about the 256 card:

and the sub forum at large:

you should not have any issues but in that above mentioned thread, the developer of the cam you purchased has recommended the proper tool to format sdxc cards..

I've just had to format it with SmartDisk to work in cameras where it was not officially supported.
