Note that I say "In [the] ideal case." :-) I'm not sure what is needed in technological improvements to achieve that. I don't even know whether it is possible with the current CCD/CMOS technologies, but may be one of these days, it can be done...

This would be a wonderful advantage for digital cameras except for the fact that every review (in Amateur Photographer, UK) mentions the extraneous noise which appears at higher ISOs (above 100 in some cases). I refer to the middle-of-the-range cameras, as I have not bothered to read about cameras costing over £1500 sterling ;-).

Luminous Landscape has a page in which the virtues of variable ISO with digital cameras are extolled. Something I don't think about until something presents itself and I have the wrong film speed in the OM4T. There are a couple of very nice shots with the Canon EOS1Ds and a couple of long Canon lenses with telextender.

This is one of the two or three truly "killer" advantages DSLRs have. Imagine in some future time, you set the shutter speed and aperture exactly the way you want to for the perfect mix of DOF and speed to capture the motion the "right" way. Then the camera set the ISO to make it happen. In ideal case, it would be noise-less from ISO 1 to ISO 6400. Yummmmm....
