Can our camera's use a 128GB card? what is the largest card you have used/using in your camera, I have a 128GB card in my cart at Amazon and if it can use it I'll go ahead and get it.

also can our camera's use a shutter remote or do we need to buy a receiver as well?

Some cameras have a limitation on the size of card that can be used, so double check before you buy.

In my D7100 I used two 16GB memory cards, which works fine for me.

If it was me, I would buy 2 16GB or 2 32GB cards, that way you will always have a backup.
 
Not all of them. There is a list on the Nikon site. https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18128/~/approved-memory-cards---d3200

For the most important question. Why would you want a card that big.

Each video clip is limited to a maximum 20 minute segment or 4GB worth of data (whichever occurs first). The information below shows the overall recording capabilities based on a movie frame size of 1920×1080, along with the bit rate set to High Quality:
8GB – 45min 30sec (.mov)
16GB – 91min 00sec (.mov)
32GB – 182min 00sec (.mov)
64GB – 364min 00sec (.mov)


If you leave the movie frame size set to 1920×1080 and adjust the bit rate quality to Normal, here’s what you can expect:
8GB – 80min 18sec (.mov)
16GB – 160min 32sec (.mov)
32GB – 321min 04sec (.mov)
64GB – 642min 08sec (.mov)


that is a lot of 20 min clips.

You can use 128GB cards if you want, but it's' probably not the best idea. As for the list, it's a list of cards that Nikon has tested and approved; not making the list doesn't mean another card/size won't work. It also dates back to early 2013. I've got a lot of Samsung, Kingston and Patriot cards around that all get used, none of which are on that list, and nary a problem with any of them.

Do NOT make me edit my post, Chris...



j/k

"Nary" is a perfectly good word.

Whine I bought my first Nikon, the D3100, I had major problems with it. The first was the ad card would not work. It was a cars that was not on the list. They eventually sis a firmware update that allowed that card to work.

One thing that I read at one point in time was... "Don't use one big card, use multiple smaller ones, 16 or 32, because, if AND when a card crashes, you will NOT lose as much... And, with them being small and not taking up much room in your bag, you will have no problem having room for them..."

Not to mention, if you rely on only one card, and it fails, your camera is rendered useless until you get another card... How many photo ops are you gonna miss in the meantime...
Memories lost on the damaged card, + memories missed because of failed card = too much possible disaster for me...

Just my two cents... Even tho nobody asked... Lol
