I have sent email to Sony to asking this question, but while I am waiting for that answer, I thought I could some insight from others at UHH.
The situation is -- Last week I purchased another Sony A7R2 and I already had two Delkin Black 128GB SD cards. Both cards work in the my first A7R2. However, only one of these SD cards works in the A7R2 i bought last week. When I put the other SD card in the second camera I get "No CARD" message.
I suspect this is a camera issue and not the Delkin Black SD card. What is making this happen? Is my conclusion accurate?
Thank you for your considerate responses. (P.S. This is not bashing either Sony or Delkin.)

Cards are cheap. I would buy a new card. Why take a chance.
Take card to camera store and see if it works in other Sony cameras.

Even easier, insert in into a computer's reader and see if it can be read. You don't need to go running off to a store with card in hand.
Did you check to see if the card's little erase protect was not in protect mode position? I use several cards a week and re-format when I get them into the computer. Usually my finger or putting the card in a slotted case forces that little slider up to protect mode. Sometime the camera tells me it's protect mode and sometimes the camera just says no card.
Y'all need to read the ops whole post... He stated that both cards work in his first camera. Sounds like a camera problem to me.
Perhaps, dirty contact(s) on the SD card. Different cameras may use slightly different contact points. Put alcohol on a microfiber cloth and gently rub.
I think I have found the problem. It is the card. Delkin issued a recall in 2016 with serial numbers and product numbers. The one 128 GB card that would not work in the second camera is on that list. I also have a 64 GB card that is one that list.
I will go to the retailer that I bought them at with this notice to get those cards replaced.
Thank you for all your suggestions.
I got my old Kodak DX7590 out last week. Charged the batteries and took the SD cards from their carrier's and put them in the camera. Reformatted the card without issue. I stopped at the store and purchased a pack of two 16gb Scan Disk U4 disks. Knowing that I did not need a class 10 disk for this old camera.
My low 512mb cards worked fine but the 16gb would not format in the camera. Not sure why?? The manual stated it would take a 1 gb card, large for that time in history but I am not sure why the 16gb card could not be formatted. When I placed the cards in the computer they were simply empty but were readable.
Same issue, different cameras, un-formattable cards. Is it in the air?

Format the card in the camera that works, then try it in the renegade camera.
