Will ISO be Redundant?

You'll always want 3 controls, you can either drop ISO or exposure compensation.

As the later makes more sense from an artistic standpoint of view ISO is bound to be pushed back in importance. Ditching it completely? No, not until you can cover a much larger dynamic range so you don'T have to think about it. Try to keep the exposure and shutter speed constant while changing the aparture from f1.2 to f16, that would be about the minimum latitude...

Actually, your belief is irrelevant. Once you get so far as to understand the underlying principle and learn the facts, everything will fall in place.

Leaving ISO
amplifiers away are definitely not enhancing image quality

Did someone suggest that? I certainly not.

You don't need to believe me, but I fully
expect the ISO control to be there, well, for as long as DSLRs exist

Good for you. I am expecting its elimination.

Well, you seem to be in need of some more.

I don't get the connection between your comment and mine.

It will be interesting how the new cameras with the eliminated iso's react at the speed of light and adjust the gain to studio strobe lighting. Or will this not be necessary at all because they are so sensitive they can work with only ambient light. Unless you can come up with a system to work with studio strobes and flashes, I don't see the point. Yes you can use the continuous lights but sometimes you just need to freeze motion, even if it is just subject movement in the studio

makes sense what you're saying. maybe replace the ISO with the "real" meaning: amount of gain / amplification?

Many DSLRs have auto ISO. And since these cameras aren't even using
real film anyway, instead giving equivalent image capture settings an
arbitrary ISO number, will "ISO" go the way of the dodo? Seriously,
50-12,800, 100-25,600, what's it matter? If you can manually set the
shutter speed and ap, what's it matter what the ISO number is? As
long as the camera gets the shot!
