In D3100 - Nikon Product Database the camera appears to support only SD and SDHC cards, but on the box of the product is written that it also supports SDXC up to 64GB.
Is this correct?

If you look on page 177 of the users manual you will find a list of the Approved Memory Cards. It indicates the SDXC is supported for 64 GB for SanDisk, Toshiba and Panasonic cards and will probably work. BUT I don't recommend using any card with that much memory. Not because it dosen't work but because you should not put all of your eggs in one basket. I use eight 4GB High Speed SDHC cards. If one goes bad, it's not a big loss. If your 64GB goes bad you have lost a lot, not only in money but maybe a lot of shots. These cards are the weak link in the memory storage process. They go bad all too often. Hope this helps.

Eye-Fi works well. I don't use it because, as I understand, you have to be in a Wi-Fi zone to use it. Most of the file transferring I do is in the field where Wi-Fi is rare. So I use a card reader. Also I usually have multiple projects on one card, shots I don't want uploaded, and IPTC data, key words and captions I want added before the shots are uploaded. An Eye-Fi auto upload doesn't allow for that kind of control.

I was wondering if an Eye-Fi card with 802.11n could be a more convenient way.
The Eye-Fi 4GB WILL NOT SUPORT RAW / NEF FILES for wireless transfers, only JPG'S. If you want to shoot and upload RAW files you're going to have to upgrade to the Eye-Fi PRO 4GB (Amazon $119.00)
