I had decided HDR wasn't really worth it, given the need for absolute stillness for best results, but you've poked a hole in that way of thinking.

The rubber logo on the camera case has deteriorated after several years, but the basic Nylon portions are holding up fine.I need to look into a solid (hopefully somewhat elements resistant) pouch to attach to it to carry batteries and memory cards.

I wish camera gear wasn't so expensive. I spent about $45 on my bag, ($35 for the bag, $10 in supplies for camera storage). It's great and I really like it. I'll spring for a new strap eventually, as well as maybe a real bag, but that'll happen after college, after a 911SC, and after new lenses.

Thanks, I felt the same way. Until I figured out that a monopod made both HDR and Panorama worthwhile. And I even got one free with my camera. I love having the option of a monopod or a tripod.

I also took some shots in RAW and then post processed. The image quality of the darker areas of the scene is definitely superior in the HDR shot than in the post-processed single exposure shot. You taught me not to dismiss HDR. Would the most superior results be achieved with bracketed RAW exposures?

Looked that up and, yeah. Is the idea to get similar results to the HDR image without employing HDR? Seems like a great thing to have for shooting without a tripod.
