Maybe the question is... If you had an M8 and an M9 with the same lens, and took a picture with the same factory standard (default) camera and LR settings, would the images be pretty much identical? Consider saturation and "vividness" as criteria..... Images were captured as dng compressed files.

Yes you can adjust the preferences in the adobe camera raw so there is less color saturation or maybe even just vividness. That does nothing to the image itself until you open it. Then you cans save it as a jpeg or whatever you want. Or if you adjust things in your camera, most of them which effect how your jpegs are coming out or previews of raw which are the same thing. So really there is no such thing as a digital camera which is gives more saturated color than another. It all depends on how you have it adjusted. Both the camera and the software which stores and opens your pix.
