Not a biggie since i haven't lost anything yet, but this was a bit disturbing...

So I carry two K-3's, A and B. A is used more often, it hangs from a wrist 
strap. B stays in the backpack or sometimes around my neck if I am switching 
back and forth between wide and long for example. I occasionally chimp, 
primarily to check the RGB histograms to make sure I haven't inadvertently 
changed a setting and put myself out of range. Today on my A camera I was 
noticing a strange color cast on the LCD. After a few more shots I became 
convinced that something was wonky, switched to the B camera and went on.  

I just downloaded the shots from camera A via Lightroom. As long as Lightroom 
was displaying thumbnails based on the in-camera jpg rendering, the color 
balance was way off still. But once LR rendered previews, built from the RAW 
data, everything looks just fine. So, the jpg portion of my K-# processor has a 
random variable color-balance problem, but the basic DNG capture is just fine. 
To be clear, there is not a consistent color balance bias toward too much green 
in the jpg's for example. Rather, it is off in a random way for each shot.

Since I only shoot DNG and don't capture jpeg's in parallel, the good news here 
far outweighs the bad. But still unsettling...
