As I pointed out in a posting yesterday, the different manufacturers implement colorspace s slightly differently than the standard. For example: Fuji says that the Frontier printers are sRGB machines but several people have looked at that the Frontiers printers produce and the actual gamut produced is wider than the sRGB standard says it should be. If the camera is doing the basic color processing, then yes of course Nikon or Canon or Minolta or Fuji or kodak or Imacon or Leaf, etc. can program in an option that tells the camera to bias the color gamut to what they think will be a "more pleasing" rendition of color for skin tones or landscapes. Theoretically It would be possible to bias the color to look like any color bias you wanted: Velvia, Astia 100F, Provia 100, Provia 100F, Kodak EPN, E100G, E100GX, Kodak Portra 160VC, Agfa whatever, etc. of course that means the color wouldn't be accurate -- for that you have a wide colorspace and NEF and RAW -- but it could be done. Maybe a smart manufacturer will offer this as an firmware kit to be sold as an option for those who want such a thing.
