The Fuji sunlight definitely has a different color balance than the others but is also about 2/3 stop brighter than the others. It looks much better when the exposure is pared back.

I suspect further that twiddling the temperature in raw conversion will make it look much more like the others.

Ken,

Since the Fuji X-E1 is the most modern camera I own, I decided to use it
as a "Control" for this experiment.  I shot both sunlit and shady blooms
on the Buddleia Bush with the Fuji X-E1 & 18-55, the Olympus E-510 & ZD
14-54 v.1, and the Olympus E-1 & ZD 14-54 v.1, all at ISO 200 and f/8
(though the E-510 managed to get to f/16 somehow).  I loaded the Fuji
shots in Picture Window Pro and used the "shade" shot to set color to
match a bloom that I clipped and brought in for comparison.  After that,
I adjusted the illumination level slightly, but left everything else the
same during processing of the selected images.  I did no cropping or
sharpening of the images.

My conclusion is that all of the "Shade" images are quite similar in
color, with some blurring from slow shutter speeds.  The "Sunlight"
images vary, with the E-1 producing the best image, and the Fuji coming
in last.

You made see things differently.  Here are the images:

I still feel that the E-1 does better than the others when photographing
flowers.
