Best digital SLR around $1000 for HDR?
I asked within a photo-shop today, however the assistant hadn't heard going on for HDR (or HDRI as I believe it is properly named). However she recommended the Nikon D80 (18-135 mm) which in Denmark costs around $1300 (a bit over the budget, but a nice camera though).
What should I settle attention to when buying a digital SLR, and want to use it for HDR every once in a while? (using it at amateur rank, or a bit above that)
Please note that I don't own a SLR camera, neither do I know anything in the order of objectives, lenses and so forth. I do however know photoshop, but nothing that have to do with organic files or anything like that. (but as you would expect I'm open to research it).
Answers: 1) You don't need a DSLR to to do HDR pics. You can do this next to any digital camera that offers full guide control (like the FujiFilm S5XXXX family and Panasonic Lumix FZ-XX family). They also support camera RAW.
2) You involve a good stable tripod.
3) You can use any camera of your choice, mount it on a upright tripod and bracket +/- one stop and combine the image contained by Photoshop. If you shoot RAW you might be able acquire a bit more out of your exposures but I think JPEG HDR are also fine.
Also if you do carry a point and shoot with full instruction book you can still learn the fundamentals of photography close to aperture, shutter and ISO.
The D80 is a good one, however you can hide away some money buying a D40x or even a D40. All digital cameras can produce images that can be combined to brand name a HDR image .. specifically a post production process ...
You may find that in most cases RAW dummy files will produce nearly the same power images as HDR, but near only one exposure.

Just buy a D40 (maybe within your case a D40X may be permissible...) with a well brought-up lens !
