hahah D70 AWB rocks right? :bsmilie: get used to it, my old D70 was like this as well.. I cannot understand how to use the 1005 pixel metered AWB properly or how it works in that matter, that I gave up using the D70 some time back. It is now sitting in my dry-box.
I prefer my point and shoot Fuji F11 now. Cheaper and easier to carry around.
otherwise, do a search about D70's AWB, you'll find shooting RAW then converting to JPEG is quite a common option recommended by many seasoned and pro :thumbsup: shooters time and time again whenever someone complains about D70's AWB. I tried that only once or twice and I think I'm too lazy to do all that, so DSLR is too high level for me. Too "ley chey" lah cos I like to shoot not tweak.
Other options I've encountered along the way is doing custom WB, but I find it overly troublesome also, imagine if I walk from my pt A(in the sun) to pt B 3 meters away but under a tree I have to custom WB. then go back pt A custom WB again..:sweat: reminds me of story at a concert when there was this guy who kept doing custom WB whenever the lighting changed.
I personally feel that although the AWB can't be accurate to the environment or what the eyes perceive, at least it should be consistent. Meaning all the 3 photos above could have been consistently warm, or consistently cool but flucuating green/red/blue
