As I pointed out earlier, the LCD is a great way to fine-tune the color
balance in real time.


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?




My Nikon D60 has a raw+jpeg mode, and I think many others do as well.
With the size and speed of memory these days, it is not a big deal to
store both.


Yep, & the high end Canons can do that as well.

I do this for my son's baseball games and zip up the jpegs
and send them to the other parents and if someone wants more versatility
to tweak a particular image I send them the raw file.


I bet that shuts them up! ;^)
