I've noticed that the camera has totally stopped recording twice now using Samsung Micro SD cards.
The video display seemed fine on the camera and everything looked like it was recording, but nothing written to the card.
It did it on the first camera I had, and now it has also happened on the replacement.
I'm trying to work out if this is because the camera is just sensitive to memory cards, or whether it's a firmware bug.
Yesterday I did several hours of driving and 60 minutes is completely missing - in fact after it stopped the car was turned off for 25 mins, then a 30 minute journey performed and it didn't record that either. It wasn't a hot day, in fact it was absolutely peeing it down with rain so it's not as though the temperature should have played any part.
I've run the card through h2testw multiple times and it passes every time without errors. I left it overnight on endless verify and it went for 8 hours without a glitch.
The card was formatted in the camera this time (it's a 64GB card) and it formatted to FAT32 fine.
It's a Samsung Class 10 UHS-1 with a read speed of 70MB/sec from here:

I made sure to actually pick Amazon themselves as the seller and not a third party fulfilled by Amazon just to try and ensure it was real.
DOD seem to recommend ADATA cards so I'm tempted to try one just to see how that goes but I'm running out of time to get the money refunded.
I've got an 8GB Sandisk Ultra card sat here and I'm thinking of just hooking the camera up with that in and leaving it recording all day to see if it fails with that in - the only problem is that if it's a bug with 64GB cards it wouldn't show up on that card anyway.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem yet?
