What a great supprise.

Colours apart, it looks like the shot taken with the Canon is just out of focus, which is probably user error.  I've seen full-res files taken on a Canon 5DII and they look stunning even at 100%.  This example is not a fair representation of what the camera can do.

Best wishes
