Just to avoid confusion with the OP, the color differences of the Sony don't come down to liking or not liking them vs. the competition. That is simply a critique of the color profile in the raw converter, not the camera itself, and this can be changed. The Sony color advantage is in regards to actual resolution differences in a particular hue.
For example, in comparison to the D3/D700 and, even more so, the D3s, the A900 will resolve more detail in green hues at low ISO, like in foliage for landscape shots. Compared to the 5Dii, the A900 will resolve more detail in skin tones. However, most of these color differences probably require a pretty outstanding workflow to really see. Of course, the downside to this Sony CFA design is that it lets less light through to the silicon, so more amplification is required in lowlight, thus causing more noise.
