The question is, do YOU want to take the photo or do you want your CAMERA and all its software, bells and whistles and so on to take the photo?
Guess I am old school and can most of the time do it better without the software, but then I did grow up with a 35mm rangefinder Leica and a handheld light meter!

This isn't quite right, Joe. Although you can print a RAW image without any manipulation, the print will be soft. As I said there is no in-camera sharpening or any other treatment to the picture. At a minimum, all digital pictures need sharpening.
