I find it sometimes better to manually select the WB on the camera Stan i just feel it sometimes works out better.

I was very lucky - I've actually got the 400D with similar actuations (I think it was 800?) and a Canon 70-200L for £100 more than the new selling price!

Just to make it a bit worse I meant 40d

I only got the 400d about £200 cheaper because I bought it brand new in the US before it was out here.

Basically I paid about £700 for the 40d & lens, which is pretty bloody good. Thank god for good friends & TP people!

Whilst I shoot in RAW anyway, I find that leaving the camera on AWB gets it right 99% of the time. Most notable failure recently were some pics of the 2008 winning Audi R10 just inside the entrance to the museum at Le Mans. The combination of daylight from outside and tungsten lighting indoors confused the hell out of it and they all came out yellow. Easy to fix in LR though

Same here - I leave it on auto and very rarely have to fiddle with it.
