White Balance

How (in your experience) accurate are the Auto White Balance settings on mid price - $350/$550 digital Cameras?

They can be ok, but I don't really trust them.

Most cameras in that price range will have manual settings. I advise you to use them whenever possible.

Don't use the auto setting if you re taking photos indoor.

Set it to Tungsten or Fluorescent manually. My cheapo $100 canon has this settings. I usually use it for ebay pictures.

The canon A series is affordable with lots of settings to play with. You may check them out.

No. I bought some on eBay, and when they all broke, Narikaa took pity on me and mailed me some. eBay is usually the best place to get them, though.

Just remember, they are not made to last forever. Get more than you need.

This is a very interesting post, I am leaning from it. Could you maybe on your next part include the lighting techniques?

Thank you.

Look in Pugwash's World at the Cheap Ass Light Tent thread for lighting on the cheap.
