ALL photographs are post-processed - either in or out of camera.

Nikon dslrs, for example, have a set of selections in the Shooting Menu for "Set Picture Control" where you select how jpgs will be processed in the camera. The choices are Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, and Landscape. Under each one of those you get to adjust Sharpening, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, and Hue. Add to that, separate controls for White Balance, Color Space, ActiveD-Lighting, Vignette Control, and more. All of these settings apply to the creation of jpgs but have NO EFFECT on the captured raw image but, as explained in my original post, they can be set/adjusted and applied to the raw file using the Nikon Capture NX-D software AFTER the picture is captured-- and can be changed and readjusted without altering the original raw file. In other words, it's like you were able to shoot a jpg in-camera and the camera created separate jpgs for every possible combination of settings available in the camera.

My suspicion is that many (most?) SOOC purists don't understand how their camera works or have ever changed any of the camera's internal jpg processing rules - nevertheless, they enthusiastically condemn shooting in raw.
I find that hilariously ironic.
