In my view canon, not just because I use one. But, I suppose when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, both Pentax and Canon are great cameras, and as they say " its not what you've got, its the way that you use it"
Interesting comparison to me. I shot both flower shots myself, and the Pentax actually showed more detail in the petals and did not blow out the red/orange channel(as they are well know for doing) but the bokeh in the canon was definitely better due to the lens quality and anti shake in the lens which my Pentax does not have.
I still can't go to the dark side even after shooting the 40D for the day (we will see by Monday, I have to give the 40D back Sunday)
If interested, I Will be doing more test/comparisons over the weekend, so be sure to check back.
By the way, thank you for the comments as always! It makes me feel good knowing that people are looking at my page and had enough time and interest to leave comments.
Every camera has it limitations and strong points. However, no camera has fault in image quality including point and shoot cameras. I have contest ribbons from point & shoot as well as DLSR's.
For me camera size and ergonomics is very important. Neither Canon nor Sony DLSR's do it for me. (Just a personal preference. BUT I have or have had Canon and Panasonic point & shoot cameras. Both Great.)
A DLSR has many advantages as we all know over a point & shoot. But in good light, it is vision not equipment that makes the capture a good one. In fact, go look at http://photosam.shutterchance.com/. He uses a Canon G7 and I greatly admire his images. So, go take a picture!
Well, I can see more detail in the center of the flower with the Pentax. The Canon looks like it had more DOF applied. But was the flower actually red or orangey?
btw, I am a total amateur with very little knowledge for setting up shots, 'composition', lighting, etc. and use a Canon S5 usually set on auto. I am eager to learn, and appreciate your hints.

I like your blog. Very nice pictures of the lightning and the water column. Cool :-)
I must agree with ann, it isn't always the equipment you use, but rather who is using it.

I like the first photo better.
