I like the Samsung image quality, tones seem pretty natural by default instead of hyper-saturated, etc. You can adjust the JPEG settings to get different effects.

However, I shoot RAW so pretty much any camera is whatever colors/tones I want.

Bottom line is everything thinks has the best colors and has bad skin tones, etc. Go with what you like. Each camera is tweaked a little different. As I said, you can adjust the default from Samsung, it isn't like you are stuck with what their engineers pick. Go read the Fuji or Olympus forums for a bit if you want to see users obsessed with JPEG colors

I shoot RAW sometimes, when I'm unsure of the exposure and white balance.

But OOC JPEGs are a huge deal for me, because I really don't want to be spending hours in post-processing if I don't have to. If I don't like the look of a camera's JPEGs I buy something else.

I actually like Samsung's JPEG engine. The colours, the contrast and the sharpening are all quite restrained, giving the photos a sort of natural look you don't get with some other brands.
