It's a nice feature sometimes, but just as often it's a PITA. With film I always know the EI I'm using - usually I'll put a sticker on the camera noting the film and EI - and will just work with that throughout the day. With the digi I sometimes forget to change the ISO rating, so I might be in a 200 ISO mindset but forget that the camera is set for something else. To my simple brain these new cameras are sometimes overwhelming.

I guess you > like the ability to change sensitivity of your "film" on the go.
