For those who prefer to avoid post-processing, which cameras help you to get it right?

Someone wrote at 43 Rumors about why he prefers Nikon:

And again:

Does your experience confirm this, or do you have a different preference outside of Nikon?
 
I can only speak to Fuji (x100vi) and recently took the leap to shooting jpg and not sure I'll go back to RAW. I'll do a RAW as a backup but it seems jpg with some tweaks is getting me there.
 
Are you referring to Panasonic, Leica, or both?

I know very little of Panasonic. Last one I had was the Lumix DMC-LX2 from the mid 2000s that shot a 16:9 panoramic format. Nice camera, died years later from a stream sensor--or at least major streaking in the image.
 
Nikon has become interesting especially after introducing film grain in select bodies. If anyone has dived into the details, it would be useful to compare with the use of lookup tables (LUT) in other brands, for instance.

My Leica Monochrome M 246 goes get "it" right most of the time. I just set "Contrast" one notch above the medium position, and that is all i need.
