Not so sure! I'm in my third generation of Canon DSLR and always travel with a grey card in my bag. By the way is the grey card that comes in the Leica Passport. Always, I'll repeat, always that color temperature seems to be some tricky I shoot a picture of the grey card and adjust the manual white balance. Few seconds and the pictures are color dead on! The problem comes when the light and color temperature are mixed, for instance when you shoot outdoors and are helped with artificial light. Then the most sure way of acting is carry with you a color meter and set the camera with the kelvin degrees measured by the meter.Anyway the output may vary but not depending on the camera but on the light mix. Feli, in my experience -that includes several digital cameras- Canon, again, is among the best. It's my personal experience...yours? Regards Felix
