Good auto exposure bracketing can give over 16bits of depth in something that behaves somewhat like a single snapshot. If there were cameras that could take a 1/4000 shot immediately prior to a 1/40 shot we'd get several extra bits essentially for free; unfortunately cameras tend to put 0.1s or more between burst shots, making this less useful for moving objects.

My oldish Sanyo HD2000 camera has a mode to do that automatically; obviously that mode disable flash and gives bad result when the subject moves extremely fast [so can be disabled] but in some cases result is impressive, without post-treatment needed.
