I don't think that any camera can take HDR images natively.
For combining the bracketed images, there is hdrshop. A nice little 
utility just for that purpose. It can also transform a reflective sphere 
probe to a latitude-longitude one that you can then apply to a large 
sphere or sky_sphere using the spherical mapping.
