Panny colors are... an acquired taste

I find the reds unnatural with strong hints of magenta and the green channel is off as well. Skin tones don’t look close to real life and the overall balance is not pleasing. Perhaps the problem is not with the camera, but my own preference." - This is also very weird as ALL other reviews claims this camera has finally great JPGs. Any ideas?

Robin Wong is a long time Olympus user, he's used to those Olympus colors. I can relate. The WB and some of the colors on my GM1 drive me nuts. Raw processing can help, but not always.

With that said, the photos in the review look great, although a bit more unsaturated than usual for Robin Wong.
