Recently I have discovered that the new 650D is capable of merging the different exposures and create a HDR image in camera itself . I believe this will be a big achievement if we can use the auto HDR feature with ML 2.3 and then the images can be processed in the camera itself. I am not aware about any technical boundaries which are developers will face but this will be just awesome.
Why spending time on something trivial to do in post?!

No, it wouldn't - the in-camera hdr mode of the 5d3 is just an excuse for the lack of dynamic range improvement in comparison to the 5d3 and Sony sensors. No in-camera processing will even come close to the quality and versatility of something like Photomatrix. Canon should have used the dev time to implement a game like pong in the firmware :-p

I second this in camera pong.
Just some newbie thoughts: many times my only post processing to combine different exposures is only run enfuse (http://enblend.sourceforge.net/). Sometimes align_image_stacks (from hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/)) and then enfuse. I usually don't like the artistic / artificial effects done by the tonemapping usually used in Photomatix, Luminance HDR (http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/) and many other tools.
Ok, enfuse is even more trivial, but when you do this several times it takes time. I surely would use an enfuse like fusion in-camera.

All on <400mhz arm?
