Interesting.... I've been using the Lexar 64GB 633x with my P3P for over a year with no problems.
I'm planning on getting the P4P and two Lexar 64Gb 1000x's to go with it, so this news is troubling to me...
'For clarification, You're not able to format the SD card from the aircraft through the DJI app or format it to FAT-32 on your computer? '
It would appear that the aircraft does a test on the card when it is inserted, and at this point it can reject the card, so you never get the chance to format it.
I fully agree with your view that the card needs to have a minimum sustained write speed, but the card manufacturers shoot themselves in the foot with outrageous claims about speed. Even the better manufacturers do this and you can't blame the public for becoming confused about what cards are suitable.
I learned some time ago when using cinema cameras that the best answer was to buy the fastest Sandisk cards you could get, and I have never been let down using that rule.
Also, it now appears that the P4P will format the larger cards using ExFAT, whereas previously it only used FAT32 for the P3 series.
