Cameras with "intelligent" Auto ISO

Folks,

One of the great things about my Fuji X100 is the auto ISO function which works well in all modes eg in manual you can set an aperture and shutter speed and the camera will set the ISO to match. My Nikon 7000 does the same and also sensibly matches the ISO in the other semi-auto modes. You can also set min shutter speed and max ISO on both cameras.

The question: which other CSC/compacts do the same?

I have and have owned a selection but none that I have used do this.

The X100 also has an excellent function when you can directly zoom to the focus point on playback: any other cameras do this?

Thanks in anticipation,

David
 
I can vouch for the Sony A7. Auto ISO is great and works in Manual mode.

My Panasonic G1 and G7 sadly don't have auto ISO in Manual mode.
 
The only downside with the A7 is that you can't set a minimum shutter speed if you're in Aperture Priority mode with auto ISO - it bottoms out at 1/60 with no other option. OK mostly if you're using a 24mm lens but not so good if you have anything much longer than 50mm.

I tend to shoot in Manual or Shutter priority with my legacy lenses controlling the aperture as a result.
 
you can set auto iso range on the sigma dp's, defaults to 200-800 i think, which is odd :\

Setting a minimum shutter speed would be an advantage but when the light levels drop a bit and I want to move away from Aperture priority I select manual and dial in something like 1/100 sec or faster and just let the ISO float up and down so in reality the lack of a fast minimum shutter speed in Shutter priority just isn't an issue.

Really, useful things like auto ISO in all modes and selectable minimum and/or maximum settings or the lack of them are so obvious to anyone using the camera that it's hard to imagine why manufacturers don't include them. Eh Panasonic?
 
So, it seems that Fuji are the only manufacturer doing this in the CSC(APC/M4/3) /compact world.
Very strange..........
