All this iso things are really interesting, and the article is a pleasing and illuminating read.
But i want to ask a question. why the digital negative gain isn't available in photo mode? it's because you don't find useul or for some hardware/software limitations? because i think that decreasing the 100iso limit should be very interesting used like a "digital ND filter". I mean, lowest iso, increased time. So for long exposures should be interesting (i don't know how many stops this could be done, but could be useful)
