As I pointed out earlier, the LCD is a great way to fine-tune the color

Just shoot in RAW.
The colour balance is just a filter applied post shot to the RAW data.
You can then adjust it to whatever you want in the viewing conditions you
want when you "develop" your pictures.


True, but what if you want or need to use the JPG immediately?


Most of the time, (on my Canons, at least) the automatic WB is good
enough for a casual observer. However, I find it unacceptable for printing.
