I respect the people who strive for AS SHOT
In digital photography at least, there is no such thing as "as shot"...so much processing goes on before you even get the RAW file (let alone the processed JPG file) that it's more of a philosophical question than a real question.
Even the printing process is an imprecise reproduction of what was "shot", and therefore we have varying levels of sharpening applied to printed pictures depending on size, media, etc.
Let's be clear here...the camera DOESN'T capture what your eye sees, it captures its interpretation of it. You can tease out a rough approximation of what you saw, you can go an artistic direction, or you can play the "as is" game...but none of those techniques will exactly capture "reality" .
