MJB: Unless you are doing live TV work a camera op does not need to fine tune color.
Disagree. The rapid turnaround now offered by tapeless acquisition and ingest, combined with NLEs doing "desktop" edits, has meant that a lot of (UK) tv productions and corporate simply don't have the time (or money) to colour balance in post.
Surely the point is that the modern camera offers the operator every chance to get it right. And if you have the right onboard monitors installed correctly, your idea of colour balance is much closer than it used to be.
So why take the lazy route?
