yes, i bought Optipix after looking around some. i never tried HDRShop, but from looking at the program specs, i would say that it is doing something different, which is allow processing of images and not lose the shadow detail because of not enough bits per pixel. Optipix allows me to capture more range than the sensor is capable of by shooting series of images at different exposures and then blending them into a single image. one of the recommendations for Optipix is that they sell a $1000 image manipulation set of plugins for really exotic scientific digital image processing of the kind that i used to study when i was in school. image blending is a lot easier than what they do in their high end package.
