[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 280093, member: 12496"] D3100 will always "accept" it (because the card is always backwards compatible). D3100 spec does not say UHS, but D3200 does say UHS-1. There are many ifs and buts about SD card speed, but Write Speed is really not very important to the camera, UNLESS you plan to shoot burst mode with large files. Single shots and video don't much care, they have enough time. :) Read Speed can seem important when downloading several gigabytes to the computer (and a fast card will need a USB 3.0 card reader to see the best speed. That USB 3.0 reader will say UHS). Memory cards always have a Read speed, and a Write speed, which may not be in the same ballpark. Read speed is faster, and when there is one number shown, it is Read speed. Write speed is slower. UHS-1 is 10 MB/s Minimum Write Speed (also the meaning of Class 10). UHS-3 is 30 MB/s Minimum Write speed. (likely will not mention Class 10) Per the standards: [URL]https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/speed/[/URL] (it could be faster) The Sony UHS-1 card saying 40MB/s is telling Read Speed (but USB 2.0 sill cannot exceed about 30 MB/sec). Again, if shooting single shots or video, the only time you will notice card speed is when downloading a few gigabytes of files to the computer. Faster is good. [/QUOTE]
