Any camera can do this, "rendering" in the sense of "an objective, accurate, realistic view of the world".

Distortions and imperfections in the artwork convey the artist's subjective view of the world, and you need an artist for that.

Imagine a perfect rendering of what's depicted in Picasso's Guernica. It wouldn't work. And that came from someone who could probably do academic realism in a handstand and blindfolded ;)
