Not enough information here... We need to know some more about the setting you are using; RAW or Jpeg, Creative modes or Basic Zone, Parameter settings, etc. Seeing some images would be very helpful too.

It's not white balance. Most likely you're comparing your 20D to a consumer camera (point & shoot, right?). Virtually all P&S cameras have the saturation level set to maximum as the average person wants contrasty, over-saturated colors in their photographs. Just set your 20D/30D to a higher saturation level if you like the color you get doing that. BEWARE, however, that reds tend to over-saturate very early and you may get unnatural colors. I set my saturation to normal on my 20D's and increase it in post if I need to.
