What kind of camera will I need for HDR Photography

A digital SLR camera with interchangeable lenses is the ideal solution, but almost any camera will work if you can lock the aperture, lock the focus, and lock the white balance.

If you want a camera with the most convenient HDR shooting setup, choose a camera that has an auto-bracketing (AEB) option.

It also depends on how many HDRs you will be shooting and for what purpose?

If you are just a hobbyist, then shooting JPGs with a point and shoot camera will do just fine if you have the ability to lock focus, white balance, and aperture. Then you just bracket your shutter speed, take your pictures, and make your HDRs.

A few other considerations: How many Frames Per Second (FPS) can your camera capture? Speed is often a factor in capturing high quality HDRs.

Do I always need an HDR?

Definitely not. High Dynamic Range (or even Medium Dynamic Range) implies you have a high contrast lighting situation. This is obviously not always the case. (i.e.: a foggy morning on an overcast day). then you have very little need for an HDR file.
