All that said, his camera (body) may be able to properly expose an image better in the same conditions than your camera, and the particular lens should be much less of a factor.

hehe, sorry to say you're wrong.
OK, not "wrong",
sure, expensive cameras have better iso abilities, but in answering this question it does not apply.
the reason being that ISO is universal, it should be very close anyway.
iso 100 an camera "A" should in theory yeild the same sensitivity to photons (light) that any camera "B".
..because the sensitivities are modelled off of the sensitivities of film.
ISO stands for International Standards Organiisation (its actualluy IOS.. but we wont go there
)
what you mentioned only comes into play when we crank up to higher iso's like 1250 or 1600. etc etc
