Good to know, Canon also allows this level of bracketing in camera with 
their 1D and 1Ds series. It's that they are stuck in the 3 bracket mode on 
the less expensive models that continues to baffle me. As others have 
pointed out, a few simple firmware changes is all it takes, cost Canon, 
Nikon, etc.al. almost nothing when you allocate it over tens of thousands of 
units, yet they don't do it.

Just looked at the specs for the Ricoh GXR - an interesting modular 
approach - and yet it only supports 3 barckets - ugh!

Regards,

Robert
