It could be that your monitor isn't well calibrated, so that it shows
all pictures a bit blue.

But it's true that in automatic white balance the 5060 tends to produce
images with a blueish cast, when you shoot outdoors in daytime. The 8080
has a similar problem, so that I shoot all photos in RAW and process
them individually.

Have you tried the different WB settings (daylight, cloud etc.) ? Or
perhaps you could decrease the blue level (there should be a setting for
that in the camera).
