It also only has 4 colors - white, black, light gray and dark gray. This is a limitation of the gameboy display, although the photos look like they are dithered. It would be interesting to know what kind of quality the actual camera sensor has.

A strange coincidence that I was actually just reading about the CMOS sensor in the camera yesterday. You can see yourself the quality of the sensor here:
