I don't think there would be any loss in quality as long as you're
shooting raw, it isn't any slower, as far as
I can tell. I have a D, and the Ds may handle AWB better, but the
further away from Daylight balance the
worse it is at getting the balance correct. I like to set the white
balance to as close to the actual light as
possible to give a reference to what the scene really looked like.

Yesterday about 1/2 the pix made with the DS were made with the wrong white
balance. I'd made some shots indoors with one of the indoor white balances
and forgot to switch the WB to daylight. It looks as though the correction
can be made simply enough with the RAW converter.
Questions: Is any quality lost when converting or adjusting the white
balance in the converter? Might it be better/simpler just to leave the
camera set to auto white balance? Would so doing have any negative effects
- greater battery drain, slower shooting, whatever?
