It's hard to tell, since exposure and contrast vary between the two - the 
Polaroid looks just slightly 'hot' and magenta. Both should be easily 
correctable. The Nikon does look to have a slight sharpness advantage, but 
whether this is maintained across the frame seems to be a matter of much 
debate.
