Yes, there is a new feature that allows the user to specify a max value that Auto ISO will use. The 60D has it. The Rebel T2i/550D has it. Even my PowerShot S95 has it! I sure wish my 7D had it...
Personally, I do use Auto ISO sometimes, especially for rapidly changing lighting in run-and-gun situations. It's great that the 7D finally has a functional Auto ISO in M mode, but I really don't like ISO 3200, and the 7D will frequently end up there, especially indoors with ambient light. The Auto ISO on the 5DII also goes up to 3200, but there at least the noise is acceptable.
Bob - one thing you might want to try is a different RAW converter. I'm playing with DxO right now, and I find that it does much better with ISO noise than DPP (forthcoming post on that later today).
