One neat feature of my D5100 is its ability to judge the EV range in the image area and, if necessary, reduce contrast automatically to avoid losing the high and low ends of the image. I shot a picture inside the mouth of a cave, with normal outdoor light visible in part of the image; while the extreme EV differences resulted in a washed-out image, it was way better than it would have been without the camera's auto adjustment and I was able to make it look pretty decent with post processing. My Canon XSi would have done much worse.
that is another thing I like about my NEX 7. you can set it to take 3 pictures at an exposure difference that is adjustable to enable one to select the best for the picture that has been taken.

Or you can merge the three images and make a true HDR image (though 5-7 is best).
