While looking around the web, I found this little camera

Leaf Aptus 75 digital back
Dynamic range:
12 f-stops :eek:
Color depth:
16-bit (65,536 levels per color)

No need for HDR with this baby :lol:
 
$30,000 eh? Well to answer your question, almost everyone on the forum needs HDR :p Anyways, that camera has HDR built in :p
 
Looking at the visible noise at iso400 in that review I think you could get better results from a decent DSLR at less than 1/10th the price.
 
A friend who attends a school which should give him a degree in photography uses these there, along with Mamya bodies (yes, you need a body to go with a digital back) and the ISO performance isn't the reason why they use it, it's the dynamic range and depth of field manipulation you get with those.
That and the resolution.

EDIT: OK, he just wrote to me that it's a Leaf Valeo 22
 
I know someone from another forum who has a couple of Mamiya RZ (I think) bodies and one (or maybe two) of those backs. He takes pictures of food for a living, but some of the landscape stuff taken with them for fun is :eek:
