g1x needs a tripod for High Dynamic Rage setting ?

what's with this ?

i thought the burst rate was fast enough to handle this !! (the manual states a tripod is needed).

its frame rate i think is about 4+ fps so i suppose you;d have to use auto exposure bracketing instead of this 'hdr idiot mode' ?

i am using a g11 now (with i think a 1 fps rate) and there is some minor movement (handheld) between the 3 exposures, but photomatix seems to mostly line them up.

i;d like to hear from any future users of this camera if the tripod suggestion is necessary. (i would rather have the capability to hdr my vacation shots rather than spend time in postprocessing)
