Everyone talks about the newer cameras having more dynamic range. While that is true how often do you really use that much dynamic range?

A lot. And within that I push/pull the tones a great deal. It's allowed me to forgo HDR except for the most extreme cases - and even when I think I need HDR, I find I can often pick one of the exposures in the series to develop, and not have to resort to the HDR blend.

The E-M5 and Lightroom 4 have really cut down on the need for HDR.

As a bonus, this makes the difficulties in bracketing with the E-M5 much less important.
