I can easily spot a difference, normal people don't care about such things, they're happy with a smartphone. The point really is that, as I said previously, different sensors render colour differently, some dramatically so, others not so much. Ultimately it's pointless buying a brand to try and make it look like another, just stick to the one you like and save yourself the pain of this fruitless task. Colour is always a subjective, and consequently a controversial topic, because we all see colours slightly differently anyway, and have our own bias for certain hues, in my experience, even cameras from the same brand are different, this thread pretty much proves the point.

That's one way to look at it.  However, I don't try to make one brand look like another.  I have a look that I want and I make both brands look like what I want.  I'm not going after a Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, or any other look.

If one's goal is to have straight out of camera jpegs look like what they want with virtually no processing, then sure, you'll have to find a brand whose out of camera color you like.

Personally, I've never seen the big deal with Fujifilm colors.  I've bought Fujifilm cameras because I like the way they operate.
