Hi jvceac,
I'd suggest you try it again in a situation where it actually does something. Photograph a subject half in direct light and half in shade. Alternatively, just take some outdoor shots in a wide DR situation, such has midday sun on a clear summer day. It makes such a massive difference on my 80D that I leave it on by default unless I am shooting in very flat lighting or when using studio lighting. If I turn HTP off I lose a lot of highlight details.
I did some testing today and the results backed what I am saying. I deleted the images afterwards as they were just shots of a cat lying next to a window ledge. Had I known I was going to read this thread I would have kept the images. If you want me to I am happy to redo the test in a more useful shooting situation to show you how much difference it really can make.
That's interesting, I'll try it again. This past weekend I was shooting in a situation with a lot of highlight and shadow. Perhaps I was too quick to dismiss it.
