My last input on it. First, I would defer to the originator of the thread. He started it with an idea of what he wanted. That's where it should be.
As for processing, as we all know, there is always SOME processing. But HDR is much more than simple processing. I would even agree with a lot of the little digs at things like selective sharpening, D&B, etc. All digital images need some sharpening. Nature of the beast. But, what will the camera itself produce for an image? People coming here to evaluate whether they want a 7D or not aren't going to be happy to know that the images they looked at to make that decision were based on so much extra software and tweaking. What can THEY reasonably expect to get out of their shiny new 7D if they get one and go out and learn a bit about how it works? To me, that's what this thread was supposed to be about. As I said, my opinion, and my last input on it.
I think this is where I was coming from. If I want to see what a 24-105L can do, I go to that thread for images posted for that lens. If I want to see user's shared photos with various processing, I go to the appropriate "processing" threads.
Here, I want to see what the 7D is capable of producing. (Probably why I keep looking up the EXIF data to see what lens was uses with the 7D, what exposure, metering, etc..)
To be honest, I have no idea what HDR is, but it sure looks like significant post processing and tells me nothing about the 7D capabilites.
As we have all said, just an opinion. We're all here to learn from other's experiences with various tools, i.e. the 7D.
