Default PDR SD Card

I have searched for this but can't seem to find it. Does the Z51 with the PDR come with an SD card? If not, while they recommend a 32GB card, how big of a card are most of you getting? Any other advice?

It does not come with a card. I used a 32GB card, good for close to 800 minutes, or about 13 hours, of recording

The PDR brochure has some good info in it:

You can use any size SD card but if you go larger than 32gb it will need to be reformatted.

So call me stupid, how do you reformat a 64 GB SD card to work with the PDR?

i've found 32GB to be the sweet spot in terms of recording size and ease of use.

The design team found that the 64 and higher cards are not as technologically advanced as the 32 cards are, but eventually they will get there.
