Auto ISO would be my default setting for walkabout. For more considered shooting off a tripod, I would like to make my own choices, not least between DR, shot noise, read noise and highlight posterisation.

Andrew, can you give some examples of how Auto ISO would result in a worse outcome in such shooting situations than would using an autoexposure mode without Auto-ISO? Since you're on tripod I presume you are not talking about situations where you'd be using flash or where the metering solution is changing rapidly despite constant light.

I can think of several reasons not to use an autoexposure mode, but I have a hard time coming up with a situation where using an autoexposure mode without Auto-ISO looks worse than autoexposure mode with Auto-ISO.
