True. The T2i and the 60D allow you to specify a maximum ISO for the Auto mode. In fact, the PowerShot S95 also has that feature. It's something that Canon could easily incorporate in a firmware update, but they've got a poor history of adding features via firmware.


Personally, I'm not a fan of ISO 3200 on my 7D, so for me that's a problem with Auto ISO. That's one area where the 5DII will perform better - like the 7D, the 5DII's Auto ISO is 100-3200, but ISO 3200 is cleaner on the 5DII. On the flip side, in M mode on the 5DII, Auto ISO is locked at 400, whereas on the 7D the Auto ISO is functional in M mode which is very convenient sometimes.
