Here some comparative examples. I have expressly chosen a red colored orchid, as this is a very critical and difficult color to render correctly:
SLC Jewel Box Black River - Canon ixus 750 (Powershot SD550) - ISO = 100
Panaleica FX01 = c-lux - ISO=80
Leica R9 + DMR - 2.8/35-70 APO Macro Elmarit - 1/45 f/22.4 ISO=100 - RAW - Silkypix Developer Studio 2.0
At first sight, the ixus picture looks more vivid. Looking at the pictures near the plant, the ixus picture looks unrealistic while the FX01 rendition looks more like the subject. The petals and sepals in the ixus picture have that "plastic" look that is sometimes attributed to the rendition of the human skin in portraits made with Canon cameras.
The dark burgundy color or the flower is rendered by the ixus as pink, the FX01gives a realistic rendition of the subjects color, very similar to the DMR.
What I miss in most comparative test is color rendition, which is - in my opinion - one of the most imporltant properties of a camera
