Rob, your comment makes a lot of sense, but then you need a SAv and/or STv priority, where you can set Sensitivity via a wheel and either Aperture or Shutter speed via the other one, with the camera adjusting the other shooting parameter accordingly.
Not sure the Sv proprity does that. I'm afraid that Sv means you adjust sensitivity and the camera will program all the rest for you. That won't be so useful to a photographer.
