I am always surprised by the hostile reception this gets. Like a few of you, I have posted something like this in the past and got flamed for it. There does appear to be the need for a few people. I shoot aircraft periodically and you don't get a second chance with them, particularly in didgy lighting conditions. I would like a bracketing feature that allows me to take a few shots in a burst with lower shutter speed and lower ISO up to faster shutter speed and faster ISO. That way, if I make a decent job of the lower ISO shot then great and if not, I have the backup shot, albeit at higher ISO. Fine if you don't want that feature but it isn't a tricky one to implement with a DSLR. Since the technology has changed, maybe we can change the way we use the camera too?

Like you I'm surprised to read some reactions but ok everybody is different and has other priority's.
But for me it would be a very usefull option to have on my next DSLR.

Ok, you've got me thinking about it some more. I can see the merit and the point most of you are getting at. I must be honest and admit I think if there was such a feature and it worked well I would most likely use it myself. You have a convert lol.

Auto ISO would be very beneficial. Every compact digital camera has it now, when are the dSLRs going to get it? Have it as an option, if you don't want to use it, don't!

It might even help all of you that post "oops did a wedding in ISO 1600" or "oops did a group portrait in ISO 3200".

Well, you do have Auto-ISO, to the same extent that any compact digital camera does - it's called the Basic Zone. If I'm using one of the Creative Zone settings in my A80, I explicitly set the ISO - it's not automatic.

Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if this forum existed when autofocus was first discussed and introduced? :)

I think an auto-ISO function (as an optional custom function) is a fantastic idea, and I'm sure it's coming soon.
