If you shoot RAW, the colours are whatever you make them at your leisure. You can also process RAW exposures in the camera with highlight and shadow controls as well as saturation. To top it off, there are a bunch of film simulations to produce out of camera JPEGs including at least one that is highly saturated.

I suspect it is not a matter of dull colours, but rather dull reviewers who did not take the time to learn how to get the most out of the camera.

On the other hand, the 23mm lens somewhat restricts the angle of view for capturing the vastness of a landscape. A decade or so ago, this would have been a major limitation. Stitching software was in its infancy and almost any successfully stitched image drew high praise when uploaded, no matter how boring it was. Technical problems were monumental. Now it is all but automatic. No more need for expensive high precision tripod heads, even auto-exposures work just fine. I use Adobe Camera RAW and it rarely fails.
