equipment recommendation - Which cameras have built-in HDR?


When taking landscape photos, I often struggle with dynamic range. I have either a burned out skies or landscapes are too dark.


Now I'm reading on Wikipedia that some cameras can take 3 pictures with different exposures, and combine them automatically to one image with higher dynamic range.


So my question is, which cameras have this feature?



Answer



As far as DSLRs go, the Pentax K-5, K-7, most of the Sony Alphas, the newer Nikons as well as the newer Canons like the 5D-Mark III, 650D, and newly announced 6D all have HDR built-into the camera. In addition to DSLRs, a lot of point and shoot, micro 4/3s and mirrorless cameras also come with this.


For your purposes, it seems as though the Sony NEX cameras should be at the top of your list. They are equipped with large APS-C sensors and tons of in-camera processing tricks - both HDR and Sweep-Panoramas.

A wide angle lens has a wide angle of view, therefore it would make sense that the front of the lens would also be wide. A telephoto lens ha...
