I keep seeing quotes like this and somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure that, if you shoot in RAW, then the camera settings for sharpness, saturation, contrast etc have NO impact on the RAW file - thats the point of RAW - the camera makes no decisions for you - they only effect if you are shooting in JPG

I'll do some tests somethime when I get a minute, but I'm fairly sure this is the case - happy to be proved wrong
