Hi Shel, The D has the variable ISO function as well. I had it on at one time, but turned it off. It switched on me once or twice, and I didn't notice it. I was shooting in aperture priority, and I would have prefered to open up a stop or two. However, I'm going to try it again. It seems like it would be good for some situations. For example, when shooting action, with the need to maintain a high shutter speed as the light comes down. Paul
