Please see below two pairs of photos. You'll notice that the photos taken with the 350D have more true-er greens whereas the photos of the same object with a 650D show a more yellow-ish tint.

(Note that the lenses used are different, but I've tried swapping the lenses and it did not make a difference).

What do you suggest is the cause for the different greens? What do you suggest I change to make the photos from the 650D have the same color as the 350D?

I would try shooting jpegs and see how you like the results. Its tough doing any diagnosis when you shot in raw and we don't know what you did to process the files.

Your examples with the newer camera are less than ideal - the first one is using a high ISO and the second is completely out of focus (or maybe there is movement? do you have IS switched on with the 24-105?).

Maybe try a couple of similar examples - jpegs straight out of the camera and post the results - keep the ISO low and make sure the picture is focussed and there is no motion blur.

If there are still problems and you can post those examples it should be easier to see the problem.
