That's a pretty fine adjustment. My concern was on a camera like the M8 which has ISO adjustments in full stops only. Also the noise performance is not as good as I like at the higher settings. Since I can hand hold wide angle lenses down to 1/15 sec on any M camera, I prefer to try that rather then have the camera bump up the ISO to something above ISO 640 (1280 ?). The Nikon is between 100 and 800. As I mentioned I probably wouldn't have a problem with the Canon 5D or the two new Nikons when they come out.
