CK, thanks for the link. Actually I just wondering whether somebody will writing something on this subject. I notice there is a lot of people here who talk such as he knows everything and underestimate others, so may as well I learn from him if he is really that good.
For the white-balance subject, there are a better articles out there than the one in DPreview. Here one of it, in NikonDigital.org:

Well very good. I see you've been trying to bait me all along. You know, if you really want to learn then fair enough, but dropping questions and trying to expose the holes in my replies for the sake of it? Great fun.
First you pretend to know nothing about white balance, making a completely newbie error. Then you ask for clarification, inviting me to write on the topic. CK proffers a link, and you still pretend to know nothing, yet now you can turn around and suggest a
better white balance link for CK? Very good.
Taking multiplie different exposures and then combining them to "extend" the digital latitude is not the same as digital has more latitude at all. By the same token I can take several film exposures and do the same thing. Stop trying so hard to find little things to unsettle me, obviously you have something against me, as already people picked up earlier on before this latest round of posts.
Agree with you, it is a fallacious term, and of course, not a proper word. But the word is short and simpler than its proper one, easier to express and people understand what it is refering to.
Frankly, I don't know what act you're trying to pull. If you're wrong, admit you're wrong. Like on this issue you've been digging and digging away at a hole. All I did was say that analog is a fallacious term. Which it is. But no, every step along the way, you cannot stop, just shrug, you have to justify yourself, "yes, knew..."
For starters, irregardless is a longer word than regardless. And analog is a longer word than film. So what do you mean by "the word is short and simpler than its proper one"? Or is that more attempt to catch me out, accidentally catching yourself out as well.
How many times have I lost my cool here on clubsnap? About the same number of times that people have been out to personally attack me.
