Does any camera manufacturer implement a minimum shutter setting? I've thought the exact same thing before about how useful a minimum shutter setting would be.

Only Sony and Panasonic cameras don't allow you to have at least some degree of control over the shutter speed in auto ISO. Olympus doesn't have an official setting for this, but to a certain extent the slow flash sync option acts in a similar way (with limitations, i.e. it only works for shutter speeds between 1/EFL and the maximum flash sync speed). Even on Sony cameras, it isn't as bad as on Panasonic ones as they have exposure compensation in M mode (which isn't a perfect workaround but could partially solve the problem under certain circumstances). So really, Panasonic is the worst at the moment.

Nikon's implementation, so far, is I believe the best, but even then it's far from particularly advanced and I can already see some room for improvement (such as the ability to directly control minimum shutter speed in A and P mode, with, for example, a third soft dial).
