The auto iso for me is the main reason to use digital.
Also the auto iso forces  you to become familiar with your whole range of so
settings and the results they produce. In my case 64,000 is the highest
range the auto iso will give you you'd have to turn off auto iso to get
higher but I simply never do that. But I do learn that 64,000 on my D700
looks like iso 400 color neg. better than iso 800 color neg. and that was
pretty darned usable or is in the present tense.

When you buy lots of cameras  nowadays the auto iso is as a default turned
on. And of course its in the M0 and I'm sure the new M's.
Question is it is in the S?
Would hate to make an S outa myself and guess.
