My LX7 has the option of taking three quick shots +/- whatever EV I set, from 1/3 to 3.0. That works great for HDR. It's just not called that.

I must believe the camera you are interested-in has that feature.

That is referred to as "auto-bracketing" .... three separate shots which can be LATER COMBINED via a special HDR software-program.

In-camera HDR is also three shots, (on Panasonic but only 2 on most Nikons), which are then automatically combined into one (HDR) print.

I don't know about the quality of your Canon but I can tell you that the Nikon P-500's HDR was TERRIBLE ... (unusable).

It is very good in the FZ-1000 but many people still prefer manually combining them for sometimes a greater (sometimes abstract) effect which some people love, (like me), but most hate the over-done effect.

look at this photo , there is too much white , i think with HDR this will be better .... what do you think ? it's normal ? i don't think this , with a phone camera with HDR this photo came out better ....

Yes:

By HDR you can darkened the highlight (bright background) and having the gentleman be properly exposed as it was in your sample. But likely it need a bigger range than +/-2ev (the traditional +1ev, 0ev and -1ev). For a higher grade camera support Exposure Bracketing (like 5 shots of 1ev each, i.e., from +2ev to -2ev or even 7 shots etc) might better for the job.

No (alternative):

By flash it could apply extra lighting onto the face of your model allowing a proper exposure as it was, and keep the background from over exposed.
