Thanks for mentioning DSLRs in response to Mike's post. That led me off on a 
wander, and to Exposure Fusion.

It's not for those looking for the unnatural enhancements of much HDR, but 
looks right down my alley - combine a range 
of exposures of a high DR subject to achieve a still relatively natural image 
that encompasses the whole DR.

The EF example in the comparison looks better than the HDR to me. As the author 
says, a bit of touch up, and it should 
look great. And it all sounds much simpler.

It also says it can do something that sounds related to focus stacking for 
greater DOF, but no details in this article.

It was the Magic Lantern user's guide that led me there. ML will shoot an HDR 
sequence and also output a file to be read 
by Enfuse, an EF app. Automated wide DR shooting, anyone?
