Yup its 100% true... I know that the D70-series does not have ISO100... I cant remember if the D100 series does or not... the D200 series does though...
Low end Nikons don't have ISO 100
I have encountered 3 other photgraphers (usualy on shoots) that the low end Nikon's dont have ISO 100 built into them.. Is that true??
If so, what model of Nikon has ISO 100 as its feature?
I was really amazed to see that they did not ISO 100..

thats one of my complaints about my d50. my only iso options are 200, 400, 800, and 1600. there has been many times i have wanted something inbetween or above and below the limits and i couldnt get it. but i guess its a consumer grade camera and most people dont have needs beyond that.
maybe their ISO200 is more like canons 100? naahhh prolly not, sounded good though.

I always thought it was really strange as well... you would think that a lower ISO would be easier for a sensor to handle since it isnt taxing on the processor and sensor like a higher ISO is... I CAN understand only making it to ISO1600 though on consumer grade cameras...
I remember on the first nightshoot that Trish had to get different settings and such as the nightshoots are normally shot at ISO100 as well... I actually shoot in ISO50 on my cameras whenever possible...

Does it really matter? The D50 is nikons best noise performing camera up to the D3. It even 1up's the D300 from what i've seen.
I'm buying a 40D for christmas though
Have:
Canon 40D
50mm F1.4 USM
Soon:
BG-E2N Grip
580EX II
Selling:
Nikon SB600
Even the high end D300 does not have a ISO of 100. The lowest named ISO is 200 and you do a -.03 -.07 -1.0 to get to the ISO 100. The D200 has a ISO of 100.
Just for knowledge sake and my first message to the forum.

Thats really strange that they took a step backwards like that with the D300... I wonder why...

the iso of the D300 is 200-3200 and is expandable to 100-6400 with the stops.
Ross is absolutely right. My D70 only goes to 200. I went shooting many times this summer with a friend shooting a Canon and he would be shooting at 100 and ask me to try it to see the difference and I couldn't.
