Does the Nikon d3100 use a SD card, or a Micro SD card?

I'm was about to buy this for it, and thought, I hope it doesn't use micro SD.

It uses an SDHC card - SD high capacity.

The Nikon D3100 is capable of using either straight original old school SD cards, newer SDHC cards, newer still SDXC cards, and in fact CAN use (at least) micro-SD and micro-SDHC cards when mated to the appropriate full size SD card adapter, which the much smaller micro versions of the SD cards simply slide into. Sandisk sells the adapter, (I purchased mine at a local Walgreen's drugstore), it looks just like an SD card shell w/ a small opening made for the much smaller micro-SD card to fit right inside and operate just like a traditional full-size SD, SDHC, or SDXC card. One caveat though, some if not all of the micro-SD cards I've seen can't operate at the fastest read-write speeds that the newest full size SD SDHC and SDXC cards can, so if for example burst shooting or shooting long high-definition videos is important to you, using a slower rated micro-SD card might not be the best idea if you have a choice.

The D 3100 is a real camera, it uses SD and SDHC cards. Only wannabe cams use Micro cards.

Yes it uses SD card so this card would be fine.
