    I received my new 1520 on tuesday, everything has been pretty good so far except for the quality of the picture on the built in camera... No matter what settings I move around the picture color is never right, it seems to have some sort of green tint to it and looks monochrome. Can't get any color whatsoever. Is this normal with this camera? can anyone post pictures taken with the built in camera to see what it looks like.

    I hope it's just a settings issue, because paying $25 for that camera is horrible.

    The quality is ok. Nothing amazing.

    I would not have paid for it.

    could you guys give me the actual settings you're using. My camera doesn't look like that at all. The picture has a greenish tint no matter what slider I move, it looks almost monochrome. If that picture is what the camera is able to show then mine is definitely broken.
