Mine has that green tint too, but I don't really care. It functions great overall, and at the bottom line it is not an SLR camera.

Agreed no SLR but that's a strange comparison!

a 14.99 compact camera could perform better than the p1 in all fairness. green tint is inexcusable however.

The £14.99 compact wouldn't have anywhere near the fantastic macro performance of the P1i though. I think people ask too much of mobile cameras these days. Remember how bad the cameras were just a few years ago? The green tint is annoying but only really noticeable in a few situations. If you take critical photographs on your P1i to be blown-up and framed then you are using the wrong device - this is a smartphone with a very decent mobile phone camera attached, not a digital camera.

Sorry I have to disagree it's not decent by any definition. I have taken better pictures with my S700 and K800. It is not as good a quality as either of those.

I agree that people expect too much but they do expect a quality that matches the description. I don't recall any camera manufacturer stating that their digital cameras would hue ones picture green down one side like this does.

Fair comment and I'm sure SE haven't deliberately released the P1i with this fault, I bet they had no idea. I've never seen the P1i advertised as an imaging device though, unlike the N73 and N95 etc.

Im just wondering, Is this problem just affecting a certain batch of p1's? Or is it everyone?

Here's an answer from SE I received this morning, btw (in swedish):

(The problem you're describing re. the camera in the telephone has been reported [..already. i.e, it's in the system somewhere], and will be fixed in an upcoming software- update.)

So I guess it means they believe it's a software- thing as well (or want to focus on a software- solution first, before recalling the entire production - or admitting there's something wrong with the camera that can't be masked with a better post- processing filter, I guess).

@sunking101

I find your attitude really funny you buy a device that boasts a 3.2 mega pixel camera and then are happy to accept it doesn't work properly or has a green tint as being acceptable. SE must just love customers like you that accept faults as oh well that's how it is.
