So with the D5, it can boost its ISO to ISO 3,280,000, and suddenly how ISO is named is becoming just stupid. We should use EV steps instead:
ISO 50 : ISO EV-1 ISO 100 : ISO EV 0 ISO 200 : ISO EV+1
ISO values are logarithmic and when in the days of film I doubt if anyone realized how high the values could get once there were digital cameras. A linear system would now make more sense
