For me yes, (sometimes auto iso ). Depending on what your doing A or S modes could make things easier.1 less thing to think about. E.g.. , shooting sports in shutter mode ensuring a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the action without ( motion blur ) &, the auto everything else will take care of everything else.

Yes, for me.

Why?

Because it's an auto mode that allows me to very easily and quickly 'manipulate' three parameters (A/S/ISO) whilst monitoring them in the viewfinder by the use of just two easily accessible thumb-wheels on my camera.

It depends on shooting situation...lately I favor M mode with auto ISO over A or S mode...In A or S mode I prefer a fixed ISO, as low as possible.

Depend on what you want to do. Personally I never use manual with auto ISO. I use auto ISO with aperture priority.

It depends. For me, I only use Auto-ISO when I want specific Aperture and Shutter Speed settings In changing light conditions.

I mostly use the camera set to Manual mode with Auto ISO on. This way I can set the shutter speed based on camera and/or subject motion considerations, and the aperture for desired depth of field. I use Exposure Compensation to override the meter chosen settings when needed. With this setup the camera is in a semi-automatic mode but only selects one variable: ISO. I can see the ISO changes in the viewfinder and make manual adjustments if necessary.

Using Auto ISO with shutter or aperture priority lets the camera choose two of the three variables. That may not be bad, but before you use it that way, to avoid surprises, you should learn how (in what order) your camera changes the two variables.

I wouldn't recommend to use any mode that you don't how the camera makes changes.

It entirely depends on the situation at hand, but also on your shooting style! I do shoot quite a bit in aperture mode, but mostly in manual, have never used auto ISO, its all preference!

Depends on what you shooting and how you prefer to control your camera. For the most part equally good images can be captured either way.

Not better, or worse, and using either can produce the exact same results. What you feel most comfortable using is what is best for you.

Sometimes.

I mostly shoot landscapes or other stationary subjects, so I tend to use aperture priority and select ISO manually, and let the camera select the shutter speed. If I shoot in manual mode, then everything is done manually except for focus. Works for me, anyway.

In my opinion, yes. Using 2 automatic adjustments simultaneously can result in unpredictable results. Pick a shutter speed that will freeze the motion (unless you intend otherwise), an aperture that will produce the DOF you desire, and let the camera choose the ISO. And if you don’t like the resulting ISO (which you can see in real-time in the viewfinder), then you can compromise either (or both) the SS or aperture.
