Be careful though because some in-camera digital adjustments
(usually post exposure ones) degrade the captured images
at least as bad as, and usally worse than PS.  At least with
PS you can check and undo any changes.  The rule of thumb is 
not use any adjustment than is not available in RAW mode.

On the other hand,iIn-camera adjustments, whether film or digital, 
are great for saving time if you shoot a lot of photos under the
same lighting condition.  (Shooting for a product catalog comes 
to mind, as I just did for www.axcelphotonics.com;  all photos
on that site came from me.)
