Perfect for having along at the local Greek festival to grab a gyros. Love those rich CCD blue skies!

Maybe I should finally upgrade to D100. Nice colors!

Thanks, yray, I know you're only half-kidding here about the “upgrade” but in this case the D100 is indeed the newest addition to my little collection of CCD classics. We can thank those legendary camera comparisons Maoby has done with all his old gear for inspiring that, lol.

Personally I’m still ranging in the D100 within Lightroom with respect to white balance. I notice that many people back in the day shot their daylight scenes using Cloudy WB settings on the D100 because Daylight WB looked too cold. Certainly Lightroom's Daylight WB which I used initially added too much magenta.

Below I've recast the shots above using a warmer WB that I measured from a grey card through the lens used that day. Same rich color saturation, but a bit more accurate WB now IMHO:
