Camera recommendation for HDR Posing this for a friend- I bragged about the forum's great support and hope you'll kindly lend some advice/expertise and we'll both learn. Thanks in advance! -- I was wondering how your efforts in HDR are going? I continue to be intrigued by the images provided through this technology and I'm in the market for a new camera. I'd like to get a camera that can do HDR (Auto Exposure Bracketing) reasonably well without breaking the piggy bank so I was wondering if you or someone you know might have any recommendations for a decent HDR capable camera? ----------

Any manually controlled camera can do HDR - you will have to look at the camera specs to see if it has the auto-bracketing feature. I have or had the Canon 20D, 40D, 1DS & my new 5D Mark II but have only used auto-bracketing with the 40D & 5D II. I dont know about the less expensive Rebels as far as auto-bracketing but I shoot a lot of HDR and dont use this feature often as I sometimes do some quirky things with my exposures that I would rather control myself. Yesterday I took 5 exposures of Victor Falls and I exposed by -2, -1.3, 0, +.3 & +1.2/3 - this rendered a little darker image which I was looking to achieve with this photo. Auto-bracketing has never a selling feature for me :) I think the more important aspect of HDR images is what software you are using to process the image. I use PhotoMatix by HDRSoft.com which has a tone-mapping tool that gives you great control over the editing & amount of effect applied to an image. I used the Exposure Fusion tool for this Victor Falls photo. It blows away Adobe Photoshops HDR processing - IMO. Hope this helps, Carlton
