I haven't taken many photos with it yet, but I was trying to take some of an object that was on the floor by a large glass door with natural white daylight coming in. The results though looked under saturated to me. Anyone else had this, is it an issue I should look into?
 
Here they are. Trying to take product photos. One where they are all together looks ok, not perfect, but there is some kind of washed out look or blue tint to the others.

Should have included your comment sorry as not sure if you saw my latest post.

The first image looks the best. The others the lightning is not as good. Lighting is everything and if serious suggest you get a daylight balanced light source to make the colors pop! Homedepot has 6500k light bulbs that will make the colors really stand out. Photography is all about capturing light, just need to make sure the light is balanced.

Thanks for the advice. The strange thing is, I took all of these one after the other in the same place so I'm not sure what changed.

Just a cloud in the sky can change lighting. If you get two 6500k daylight light bulbs you lighting will be consistent and the color will be closer to real life. This way you can take product images no matter what the weather is and they will all look better.
