To be honest I think exposure was the software as you could reliably underexpose it and get the result you wanted. Colours, probably dynamic range as you state

Colours, probably dynamic range as you state. Looking at the curves for a pure white photo suggests range of blue was a little tight which is what made it look like out of date Kodak ektachrome on a good day. That may be software again bit I'm suspicious as the sensor on my D3100 doesn't exhibit that problem. Perhaps its better quality control.

There is also a trend toward oversaturation in cheap consumer cameras. Makes the consumer say "oh, it's so colorful!" With cheap sensors the name of the game is always "get it close, and find a way to hack it so most people won't know."
