D90 and D200 colour difference?

[gandytron]

Hi All,

A little while ago myself and a friend were photographing birds together - me with a D90, 300mm f4 AF-S and 1.4 TC, and he with a D200 plus 300mm f2.8 (all Nikon gear). Both cameras had white balance and other in-camera settings on Nikon's defaults.

On looking at the images there is a striking difference in the colour of the images - the D200 shots being quite "green" and the D90 shots being quite "blue".

Is this what you would expect? Is this a sensor issue, or does my friend have something growing on in inside of his lens?!!

Thanks

Dave

I'm no expert but I'd say that is probably down to a change in Nikon's defaults between cameras, it's likely they've adjusted things as time goes by - I've certainly noticed the D300 colour seems a bit different to that on my old D80, you're experiencing the same I expect.

Depends how strong the casts are really I guess. Try photographing some white paper and seeing how they compare...
