The HDR mode inside the P3's camera isn't a true HDR - it really only boosts some of the exposure and processing settings, like saturation, etc. There is no comparison to the HDR feature in one of my DSLR's (Canon 5D MkIII), which actually DOES take multiple images at different EV levels then combines these into one shot within the camera.
Most pro level stills editing programs like PhotoShop, have an HDR feature, or buy something like PhotoMatix. Take multiple images at different exposure levels, as set within the Pilot App.
Speaking of DSLR's, I own 7 of them, including the 5D3 and a Canon 1Dx, and I find the P3's still image quality to be acceptable, especially considering this is a FLYING CAMERA, then entire system costing less than any of my lenses cost alone. Does it compare to what I get from even my least expensive DSLR and cheapest lens? Of course not.
Manage your expectations. If you want DSLR quality, get a heavy lifter like a S1000 and strap on a 5D3...but be prepared to spend thousands and thousand of dollars - more than $3,000 on just the camera and lens.
BTW, if you shoot RAW (DNG), try the DJI DNG Cleaner v1.1 software, available for free download here, although I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to read the resulting "cleaned" files:
