Actually, Ken Rockwell thinks the color from all his cameras except one has 
great color. The one that he hates is his M9. But remember, he takes family 
photos with Velvia, so what's he know? He says the new Fuji compact has the 
best of all cameras ever. Don't know, never saw one.

Yes as a matter  of fact it may have been Ken Rockwell who talks about his
Canons having better or worse color than his Nikons.
He's shooting  jpegs. Needs to buy more and more gear. Nobody else cares.
