As the title says. I'm having trouble finding if the D3100 can support SDXC and SDHC UHS-I cards?

Jdeg, the only thing I could find in the manual on storage media was: SD (Secure Digital), SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. No information regarding UHS-I was listed. Maybe someone had better information. See page 177 users manual, Approved Memory Cards.

I've just came across this post in a search for info on the same subject and haven't found a definitive answer. Has anyone used the UHS-1 card with a D3100?

The SDHC UHS-1 and the SDXC UHS-1 seem to be compatible with the Nikon D3100.

I went to the SanDisk website and after hunting all over hell and a half acre I finally

found that SanDisk says the cards are backwards compatible with the USB 2.0 protocol.

What I took this to mean is that the UHS cards are a far faster read and write speed than

anything before it. This kinda makes me think that these cards are meant more for the

Thunderbolt (Apple) and Lightening (Windows) protocols on the newest computers for very

high speed downloads. SanDisk is also showing off the new USB 3.0 card reader.

Hope this helps.

As far as I know the D3100 is not UHS-1 compatiable.

However, UHS-1 cards tend to be Class 10 cards (ie backwards compatiable), and these ARE compatiable with the D3100.
So if your device can't utilise the UHS-1 specification, it will fall back to the older Class specification instead.

Hope that helps :)
