The Nikon's color balance is definitely closer to the original scene, its reds are purer (no hue shift towards purple or orange) and its blue is more accurate. The E-300's resolution advantage here is even more pronounced (22% more vertical pixels). Nikon's much more neutral approach to image processing leaves the image looking a little 'flatter' (lower contrast) and less sharpened (although without any nasty sharpening artifacts).
