Are these raw images or JPEGs that you are comparing? It could be the white balance settings for the two cameras. There are a lot of processing options for the JPEGs on both canon and nikon DSLRs. I would check how the d80 is set up and see if your canon can get similar settings (vibrancy, etc).

Some may be attributable to the lens (my Minolta 70-210 is much warmer in color than the Tamron 24-135).
More likely it's a white balance setting. I'd imagine each manufacturer has some minor differences in the standard default setting as well as selectable custom white balance settings (i.e. cloudy, sunny, tungsten, etc...). |

Your 400D will have settings that determine how much saturation (and sharpness, and contrast, etc.) are boosted in-camera before the image is written to the card. Perhaps these are set a little too conservatively? By default, most DSLRs do less to the picture than, for instance, P&Ss. There is an expectation that you will always tweak your shots a little, and mild contrast, saturation, and sharpness are the most commonly needed tweaks.
This one needed the tweaks to bring it back to what the "eye" saw. |

Not to sound trite, but, have you read your camera's manual? There are a lot of adjustments you can make in-camera to get the results you are looking for..... however... I don't recommend making most of those adjustments in camera because you can have so much more control over them by making them in PS.

Yes, out of the box, the newer Nikons are warmer, and the Canons are still cooler.
yes, you can adjust it. RTFM |

If Canons are "cooler" how come you're still shooting with a Nikon? :P |

Ok, you can download the manual here:
