Question about Panasonic Micro P2

October 8, 2015 forum topics
Our station has purchased the P2 adapters so we can use micro P2 in our cameras, thereby eliminating the need for a P2 reader in the field with the laptops since the laptops SD card slot will read the micro P2 cards. We have a couple of 64GB Micro P2 cards. The micro P2 cards are essentially a SDXC UHS-II card. What I want to know is will the less expensive cards such as the SanDisk Pro Extreme SDXC UHS-II cards work instead of the much more expensive Micro P2 cards? I found a notice on Panasonic’s site saying some cards will work but recording can’t be guaranteed. We purchased a Lexmar 64GB SDXC UHS-II card to experiment but it doesn’t work. When you try to format the card in the camera it gives a "Warning: Can Not Format" message. I’m ordering a SanDisk card to try that. In the mean time, have any of you used a card other than Micro P2 that’s worked? The company wants to equip all photogs with 4 cards. The 64GB P2 cards are $300 each where as the SanDisk 64GB cards are $130.
