Multiple exposure capabilities are more a gimmick idea on digital

overlaid with a minimum of effort and a lot more control than film
allowed, so I wouldn't rate this highly on my list of needs for a camera.
Yes, adjustments in post-processing does allow more control. However
I find the 'multiple exposure' mode on my Pentax dSLR bodies (*istD
and K10D) to produce more 'interesting' images. I enjoy the element
of surprise, when I see the results of my efforts. To simply overlay
images in my computer, does not interest me nearly as much, as making
multiple exposures.

Another use may be made of multiple exposures, by capturing
successive frames of motion (water, say) to get the effect of a long
exposure, with the multiple short exposures.
My definition: "multiple exposures" are successive exposures
resulting in only one imge in-camera.
