Re: Olympus lets you ISO your way

And while I've owned many cameras, Olympus makes my ramblings just a little easier, thanks to all the automatic settings, like Auto ISO in all modes, if you select it.

And that's a blessing, you know?

It's good that Olympus lets you do everything you want - and I agree that you should be able to do whatever you want with one.  But they've never been accused of making anything easy.  I don't know why it's beneficial to have the option you mention.  With Sony and Fuji cameras, Auto is just another available ISO setting - you set Auto ISO as easily as ISO 400, regardless of which exposure mode you're using.  (Sony took a little time getting around to implementing Auto ISO in M, so that doesn't apply to older bodies).  Pentax' implementation is kind of neat, too - "Shutter and aperture priority mode (TAv)" is basically Auto ISO in M, but makes it clear to the user that it exists to let you set shutter speed and aperture while the camera varies the ISO as needed.
