Nikon cameras have various different bracketing options.
The entry level 3000 series does not have bracketing of
any kind. The 5000 series has 3 steps of up to 1/2 EV
per step. The D7000 also has 3 steps, but they can be
up to 2 EV per step too.

The high end models, from the D300 to the D800 and the
D4 all have 9 steps at up to 1 EV per step. That means
the camera can be set to high speed continuous with a
maximum of 9 frames, and with Auto Bracketing set to 9
steps 1 EV apart each press of the shutter will bracket
from -4 EV to +4 EV.

I would assume that various Canon models are just as
functional, but I don't know.


I am well aware of bracketing stops. The only Nikon that
has 2EV per stop, is the D4.


You don't seem to be too aware... The D4 does not have 2
EV bracket steps.

Read what I wrote, it's accurate.
