Why doesn't the sky look bluer?
Qualified responses only, please. I have been an amateur photographer for almost 40 years, but this one has me stumped. I am using a Sony Alpha 55 DSLR with a circular polarizing filter. When I compose a shot using the polarizer in the AUTO mode the sky looks very dark blue, which is the effect I'm trying for, but when I see the photo, the sky is a few shades lighter than it looked on LiveView. All other cameras I have used, both film and digital, do show the sky in a nice dark blue tint, so why doesn't the A55?

Both cameras pointing at the same scene with the same filter rotating the same way? You ought to get a similar if not the same result.
You have to do a scientific experiment here. Two different cameras (as you said), same lens, same filter, and taken at the same time (because the sun matters). I really think they will look alike.

Toss out the live view and work with your light meter and histogram with live view turned off. You are probably overexposing the image which will tend to wash out the sky. You may need to apply exposure compensation or shoot in manual mode.
