I'm not coming out against DSLR or anything, but for my uses... they're just so huge I'd never have it with me, and the price is so high I couldn't buy one for non-professional use.

But yes, the new Sony WX1 is quite amazing in low light and panoramics... havent seen 100% crops side by side tho, I just toyed with one at a friends house.

To me, I'd get a DSLR for more artistic effects like depth of field, very long exposures, bokeh, or HDR, but a while back a friend and I were comparing our cameras - he had some kind of 7MP Olympus DSLR and I had a 7MP Sony DSC-P150. In extreme darkness you could see the sensor noise on my camera, and he could just set a very long exposure, so that was a clear win for him if we were printing hi-res posters or competing in a photo competition.
But ultimately, while he's very happy with it because he does make use of all the features, when we compare ordinary shots, his camera's pics look 3-5% better, but his camera cost about 220% as much before lenses. I'd love to have all the manual features he does, but I just can't pay that when I take about 50 shots a year and keep about half that many...

But the best entry-level DSLR is a used one Craigslist, because you can get a body and lens for under $300.
Of course, if someone wants to buy me a T1i to replace my XT, I won't complain.

Take, for instance, that rumor currently circulating involving you, the plumber and the donkey. Now, I didn't go looking for it, didn't really even want to know about it--I mean, fergawdzsake, with the pipe wrench?--but there it is, not to be ignored.

Kidding aside,
I think that the higher ISO on the Nikon looks better and will be more manageable in PP. Lack of noise means nothing if you lose all your detail with it.
Also you will see loss of detail on the Canon on those shots of the cats. Look in the lower left hand corner.
In the end I agree with you overall assessment, although for photos I would prefer the Nikon and the Canon for video.

Mind you, where I live, full frame rate is a leisurely 25 fps. Or 50 fields, if we're going to get picky about it.

I guess the review is thorough, too. But back to the granite, what sealer do you use?
