Re: Struggling with Sony skin tones, want that Canon look, go here -->
Since our favourite rumours site posted today a link to this (not very new) video, let me comment it through my own perception (through several displays including a calibrated 4k monitor).
From the very first comparison, one may notice a similar difference as between Fuji Superia and Kodak Gold film, or Fuji Crystal vs Kodak Royal paper (except Fuji had darker, more bluish greens too but that's a different story).
In many circumstances the Kodak (and subsequently Canon) approach can be more flattering, as it can be perceived as a light tan or golden hour effect. However it's not without downsides, as in some different scenarios it can also be perceived as a chronic liver disease effect or even the whole picture looking out of whack.
Looking retrospectively, one may infer that some digital camera manufacturers continued, worked with, or inspired themselves from Kodak's "color science" (e.g. Canon) while others sided/cooperated with Fujifilm (e.g. Sony, Fuji, Olympus). I have no idea where to classify Nikon though, they look different than anything else. Possibly some in-house effort.
Hope this is useful for those that liked one look (Kodak/Fuji) but for some reason ended with a camera doing it the other way.
