noticed any discussion about the subjective quality of the various sensors
in the various cameras out there.

It's because the people that frequent this group mainly focus on high ISO
noise.

I suppose I'm really thinking about
color rendition.

Exactly why I chose the camera I did. No, the color doesn't perfectly match
a test chart but I love the color saturation I get from this camera.


Before digital, what film you chose was important and could be quite the
topic of discussion. Now it seems that people are more concerned with
card
compatibilitiy than color quality.

Actually it's noise performance that has taken center stage.



Has this been discussed and I've just missed it? or does modern
electronic white-balancing mean that color rendition issues are no longer
a concern?


Not at all, it's just ignored because it's too subjective. It's easy to
measure noise at 1600ISO and chose a camera based on that.
