What's the best way to get true life color on the HMC150?

I am very very interested in the HMC150. I like the film look everyone does, and some other creative videos.
Looking at videos of the HMC150 on youtube and vimeo, they just seem a little dark compared to other videos from Canon or sony,,, is this true, or do people like the darker film like footage?

Here are a few videos that are close to what I would like , they are shot on the 150

I hope to find that HD Nature TV sharp focus, vivid color type program feel, that when I watch my videos on the big TV, it feels like you are right there.
Is that possible with the HMC150?

is there a web site with different formulas to adjust the camera the way you want it? I am sure with experience I will come up with my own, but I hope to find a good starting point.
 
I'm shure that this PDF file with explenations of the Scene file settings will help you out a bit:

I wouldn't say that this camera is darker than other ones, it all really depends on the settings like the master ped and gamma settings. Not to mention the iris.. =P
Right now im shooting with this scene file setting, I find it very nice and it gives me a natural feel to the image without any saturation..
The camera is (as any other Pana semi-pro/pro cam) very tweakable, don't be afraid to experiment with it =).

Detail level +1
V detai level +2
Detail coring +2
Master Ped -8
Gamma: HD norm
Matrix Cine like
(Didn't mention the oter settings as these are at 0)
