Q&A: These days how much of photography is real photography as against post-processing?
I am a total point-and shooter on auto mode, yet by using simple and basic post-processing have secued second place (twice) and third place (once) in online photo challenges at dpreview.com. Isn’t photography these days more about post-processing than anything else? Opinions please!

If you have managed to edit your images to a very high standard then fair play to you, there is nothing wrong with that. People have been editing their images in the darkroom decades before Photoshop or even computers were invented, there is nothing new or unique about it.
The end result is all that matters.

Unless you are shooting slides, photography has always required post-processing.
The final image is what counts.

Seeing the photograph from a digital camera doesn’t really help in the purchasing decision.. or shouldn’t.
Just because you buy a great digital camera doesn’t mean you are going to take great pictures.
The only way I can see this as a factor is if the website shows a sample from a blown up image to help you decide on how many megapixels you are going to need.

I don’t really understand the question – do you mean a viewing screen on the camera – or a picture of the camera on a website?
I have a Panasonic and an HP – both great – both for different reasons. The Panasonic is tiny, has a Leica lens and takes great 5 megapixels. The HP is like an SLR with a large lens, and I love the self timer on it because I live alone, and have to take my own pics.
