No HDR Camera. In the original photoshop this had to be done by hand layer over layer. In 2&3 photoshop does it for you so it is much more detailed. Like said above you take shots ranging from over exposed to under exposed. The program then takes the best parts of each picture and combines them (basically).
Just FYI: The Fuji S3 and S5 pro actually do something similar to this. Each photosite actually has 2 different sensors, a normal one and then a smaller one optimized for high brightness. The camera takes two images simultaneously exposed differently (through equivalent ISO rather than shutter/aperture) and then combines them. When shot in RAW mode, it is possible to modify the way these are mixed to create images in the same ilk as above (granted...not nearly as dramatic).
The Sigma SD14 has ridiculously large dynamic range and call pull off similar feats without a second set of photo diodes. That along with the fact that it doesn't use bayer demosaic interpolation in its processing makes it my favorite (and next) camera.
High Dynamic Range--- the difference between the lightest and darkest areas still assigned a color/luminance value. In a standard digital camera, each color can be assigned a value of 0-255. In a 32 bit image, each color has values out to 4096 (IIRC).
I had not heard of those cameras but thanks for the information...I am also looking into a new camera soon but havent heard much on this sigma...and cons you know about on it?

If not exposed correctly, it has a lot of noise (for an SLR). When exposed correctly, its noise performance at ISO 400 and up is not at Canon levels. It shoots 3 fps max and has a 6 shot buffer. Auto Exposure is not as advanced as top Nikons and Canons. However, on the flip side, when shot at ISO 100 and ESPECIALLY ISO 50, the image quality is simply out of this world...to die for. Once you get to know the camera and its exposure capabilities, you won't miss too many shots. It's good for a landscape photographer (like myself) who doesn't need 10 FPS. Its also considerably cheaper than its competition.
If I had to guess, I would say its black, but because of the HDR exposing for everything, the reflections come out with equal visual impact as the paint.
