I wouldn't describe that process as "tortured". I took quite a few bracketed
shots, with my E-3, during my recent holiday in Brittany -- the work of less
than a second. And putting them together is much quicker (and cheaper) than
what you might have to do with bracketed shots on slide film.
Since I first started with digital, with a Powershot G5, I have noticed the
limited range of exposure values available with digital capture, but I have
worked out how to deal with it. This process is not dissimilar from dealing
with exposure challenges with film; nothing, yet, is perfect.
And no, I shall not be upgrading to the E-5 . . .
