Preferable to sharpen in camera or in Photoshop?

I am using an olympus c4000z, photoshop, and Ultrasharpen. Would it be
preferable to turn sharpening off in the camera and do the work with
Ultrasharpen in Photoshop, or to do the sharpening in the camera
instead?

My understanding is that you would probably get better sharpening in your
editing software, rather than letting the camera do some sharpening (and you
doing subsequent sharpening in yourpost-shoot editing).

According to my humble opinion, you shall always do sharpening as the
last modification of the picture. Sharpening is a destructive operation
and it is best to have at least one original without sharpening.

Now - it all depends of course. If it is just pictures from a
party and you never plan to do any modification. Then, it is
OK to apply in camera sharpening and even using a lower resolution.

Have you noticed any difference either way?

For what are you saving the unsharpened original? If it needs
sharpening, sharpen it. If it's done right, it's done right. I suppose
that if you don't do it right, saving an original unsharpened would be
good until you can get a tool to do it right.

Don't you expect to be better at this next year than you are this year?

Gene, what would be a good reason for anyone to keep the original, not
altered photo, if you are satisfied with the sharpening?
