650D/T4i night shots: orange cast

Hi,

I got a brand new 650D Canon with the 18-135mm STM kit but quickly noticed a problem that I had found on a friend's 400D: city night shots get a horrible orange colour cast. My older Canon A720 takes much better photos (colour wise) in comparison.

I have uploaded to my gallery 2 photos form each camera. The ones from the A720 are much more like what my eyes see.

The ones from the 650D have been underexposed by 3EV which I found improves colours a bit. I have to try -2EV as I think it's a bit too dark.

Both were taken in ISO200 as that was what ISO Auto chose on the A720. Auto on the 650D would use a higher ISO. In any case, the idea was simply to point and shoot. I've read a bit and it seems to be a known Canon problem with white balance. But what bothers me is that my 4+ year old Canon has the problem "fixed". Besides, it doesn't overexpose in the same situation the 650D does...

Here's the "normal" shot on the 650D...

Thanks,
Paulo.
