CCD warmer colors than CMOS?

I know myself and others have posted in the past on the subject. For some reason, CMOS sensors seem to have muted warmer colors, this particularly affects greens and yellows. I have two recent photos of fall foliage, taken with an a620 and the 330HS. Now I've found the 330HS to have better colors than other CMOS cameras I have used, but I still find the a620 to produce more true to life color. Skies have a slight cyan tinge in real life, but this is missing in the 2nd image taken with the 330HS. The foliage colors seem to be slightly muted in the 2nd photo as well. Now both shots were taken with AWB and in "vivid" color mode, perhaps this is a WB issue? I've tried daylight WB in the 330hs and other CMOS cams but its even cooler than AWB. Will using cloudy WB help? I know that I've compared outdoor daylight photos online between the s95 and s100/110 and have found the same difference, the s95's have warmer & more vivid colors than the s100/110s. I'd like to know you're thoughts, and how to get warmer colors with my 330HS (and my SX260 which also is CMOS).

I do know the s100/110 have a fine WB control, has anyone used that for getting better greens & yellows?

Anyway, here's the two photos. 1st one with a620, 2nd with 330hs.

a620, P mode, AWB, vivid color setting

330HS, P mode, AWB, vivid color setting

I'm not sure if you have used the same exposure on both of these as the first one looks slightly darker than the second one.  Maybe if you set the second one to lower exposure, maybe EV-.3 would make them very similair.

Also the second one has more blue than the first so the sky is less torquise, so I think the second one may be more accurate, but you can easily trim this in My Colours, by setting the one called B (means blue saturation), to maybe -1, this will reduce the blue and give green dominance if that is what you want.

Second shot is a wider view, with more tree trunk showing. Hard to conclude much.
