If you are looking to do HDR photos you would have to take 3 of the same pictures, one being over exposed (2 - 3 bars on the +), one underexposed (2 -3 bars under the -) and a normal exposure. Photoshop CS3 and Photomatix are the programs able to generate the 3 images to create an HDR image. HDR images look best when you take pictures of any subject with alot of color/contrast from what i have seen. Really just play with different exposures and see which fits best to the pic you are taking.

Conclusion - Pros
Excellent resolution, lots of detail, not a leap from eight megapixels, but certainly from six
Good color with selectable PictureStyles for different subject types
Good dynamic range (more than peers) with soft roll-off of highlights
'Integrated Cleaning System' designed to keep dust at bay
Widest range of image parameter adjustments among its peers
Low noise throughout the sensitivity range, noise reduction maintains detail well
Good in-camera image processing, resolution advantage shooting RAW is slight
Larger, brighter and more detailed LCD monitor
Re-designed user interface a great improvement over the EOS 350D
On-screen setting adjustment (ISO, WB, etc.) surprisingly quick and easy to use
Updated nine point AF system, proved fast, accurate and still good in low light
Very fast off to shot time (virtually instant), slightly slower if you want to read screen
Numerous small bug fixes improve usability
Magnification available in record review (although requires two button press)
Small and light but hand grip is still too small, can be uncomfortable for large hands
Excellent supplied software bundle, two RAW conversion options
Remote capture software included for computer controlled shooting
Unique JUMP mode in playback (by date, 10 or 100 images)
Value for money
Conclusion - Cons
Kit lens disappointing, better to buy body only and spend more on a good lens
Sporadic continuous shooting once buffer is full
Occasional under-exposure issue with Evaluative metering
Average automatic white balance performance, still very poor under incandescent light
ISO, WB, Metering mode etc. not displayed on viewfinder status bar during change
Flash must be raised for AF assist
No Kelvin white balance selection in-camera
No spot metering
No mass storage device USB driver, poor WIA transfer rates (and awkward to use)
Opening the CF compartment door shuts camera down, loses any buffered images
Small viewfinder view
