Helpful Posts: A quick Kahn Academy type tutorial on how ISO works. Also includes an explanation of why higher ISO produces more noise at about 5 minutes in.
As for why ISO is there... I simply see it as an additional tool to create the image I want. For instance, I may want a large depth of field, but also need a fast shutter speed. There isn't always enough available light, so increasing the ISO will achieve what I'm looking for.

To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee: "Noise? Call that noise?! Now this is noise."
(f/13 @ 25 sec, ISO 800 - no post-processing whatsoever. Guess the sensor ;-)

Yes, my fine camera is perfect for product shots - but as for high or even medium ISO, fuggeddaboudit.
