I currently don't have that feature, Canon 1DIIn, however I think I would use it providing you could set upper and lower limits. |

Hm, I've not thought about such a function much... I don't have it in my 20D.
Here's how I think: I'd like the best possible image quality the lighting allows. So as the light fails, I push up the ISO to get shutter speed to sufficient levels so as not to produce motion-blurred images. In general, I use as low an ISO setting as possible to produce minimum noise.
If the automatic function worked like this - and one could understand and anticipate - or even better temper - its decisions, it could be quite useful.
However, in a decade of using digital cameras I've learned to check and set the ISO without thinking about it too much. It's second nature for me now.

Marc, are you Nikon based then?
If so, I have played about with the AUTO ISO on my D200's a few times
Yes, you can set the max ISO and the slowest shutter speed, but I found that it was too unpredicatble for my liking.
However, I have heard of a hell of alot of other wedding photographers who do use this feature.
Remember one of the main advantages to digital; you can practice and experiment all day long without spending a penny!

I used Auto ISO a lot when I shot Nikons, but since I now shoot Canon, I don't have it. It worked great with the Nikons, and I wish the Canons had it. The 5D only has it in the Idiot mode, and it doesn't allow RAW in that mode, so I don't use it.
