    I explored my Nikon D200's manual and it appears that it does multiple 
exposures (up to 10) to create 1 image. You can either have the camera compute 
the exposure of each release (it's called "auto gain") or do it yourself. You 
can use any shooting mode (single, continuous low, continuous high or mirror 
lockup).

  The only limitation (other than 10 exposures) is that you cannot have more 
than 30 seconds between releases; no way to change that. I remember with my 
film multi-exposure surf photo waiting several minutes for a big set to come 
in; sometimes there was only one big hit per set...
   
  My guess is that the D300 or D3 may improve on this capability.
   
  I'd be curious to know if any of the Canon digital offerings have this 
capability.
  Hopefully the M9 will...
  Bob
