Off-topic, but Iliah has done a great job at debunking the HDR myth. Even if you have a sensor that's sufficiently linear over that range, optical systems are a real limit. Much past a dozen stops, even if you're merging multiple images, and you're just doing more and more to capture the nuances of your lens flares and the camera's mirror box's internal reflections. And scenes with that much dynamic range are typically uncomfortably bright and rarely pleasant to look at. Who actually stares into the Sun when watching sunsets?
Really, when it comes down to it, if you think you need more dynamic range than you get with today's DSLRs, what you _really_ need to do is find or make better light.
Cheers,
