I usually leave my camera in Auto ISO, however, I am thinking of keeping it preset at 100 until I need a higher ISO. Good info in this post.

ISO on DSLR's should be considered as GAIN... it doesn't make the sensor more sensative but ups the gain (amplification). The "grain" is noise... it's caused because you are cranking up the gain... same thing as turning an audio amplifier up and the noise floor comes up and becomes more audible. Same principle. Granted, 3200 is VERY clean considering how much gain is added! If I do that on my video camera (dvx100a) I get a WHOLE lot more noise (it gets ugly.)

For example, if you look through a military "night vision" scope, your eyes are not being made more sensitive, rather, the device amplifies any existing light to enable the user to see more.

And also required in low light, even with fast, IS-lens. I think its great feature in DSLRs. you can up ISO to 200-400 in outdoor sports to achieve higher shutter speeds.
