I have seen the term "native ISO" mentioned occasionally and wondered what it is. I have seen somewhere that Canon is supposed to have a native ISO of 160, and that Nikon's native IOS was either 100 or 200 (there seemed to be some dispute as to which was correct). So what is "native ISO", and what significance does it play? Also does anyone know which is the correct native ISO for Nikon cameras, 100 or 200? I did try searching on Google and found some articles that stated Canon native ISO is 100 and that Nikon native ISO is 160, so now I really don't know what is correct. I'd appreciate any help possible.

But what does "native ISO" mean? The lowest the sensor can go?
It looks like the native ISO is being defined as the lowest ISO available on the camera. That in my case would be ISO 100 for my Nikon D3100 and my D7100, with my Canon PowerShot SX50 being 84. What I read was that shooting at native ISO gives the best highlights, and that for that reason you should use the native ISO or a multiple of it to have the best you can get. In the same article it stated Canon cameras have a native ISO of 160 or a multiple of it as much as possible, rather than the values in between. It also stated Nikon's native ISO is 100 or 200 but they weren't sure which. Another article said that the newer Nikons are rated at 100 but that the native ISO of 200, on older models still gives better results.
