Its a great mystery why a company like Canon do not include user controllable partial ISO stops when the camera itself is capable of delivering it (in Auto ISO mode). Its not like there's any need of sophisticated hardware or extra electronics.

There is one third party firmware called MagicLantern (google it)MagicLantern which will remove this barrier and allow you to control partial ISO stops. But this firmware doesn't come with any warranty and might damage your camera permanently (though I haven't seen anyone with a broken camera).

However, if you really need partial ISO increments, I guess its better to buy an updated model which supports this feature, its a good excuse to upgrade your body.
