Please move the little square with the wriggly border over to different parts of the test shot. You will soon discover that the play card is simply out of focus in the 5D II test shot, probably because of the thinner DOF of the full frame sensor. In other parts of the test shot where both cameras are in perfect focus, you can easily see that the 5D II outcalsses the Sony.

Yes, I realise that, but I would like to think that for a 'studio comparison tool', all things should be equal, inc f/dof - if this is not the case, then it makes some comparisons a little 'unfair'?
 
Is this what you normally shoot photos of? Weird arrangements in a studio? I didn't think so....we all know the 5D II is a great camera. There are people in Hollywood making feature films with them. Countless pros use the 5D II as their main camera. So stop worrying and git out there and shoot pictures.

Well I think it's a little more "unfair" to try and compare photographs of cameras of different formats, in this case compact digicam with small (1/2.3" or so image sensor) against a much larger 35mm image sensor. You really shouldn't be trying to compare aps-c dSLR against 35m dSLR.

Compact digicam (even superzoom fall in that huge category) has more DOF and their JPG's will have a higher default sharpening JPG setting.
 
Move the square over the face of the watch, bump up ISO to 1600 and....voila!
 
Trust me. The 5D II blows that Sony out of the water. I own and use two professionally. Buy it. Use it. Worship it. ;)

Yep, that's a great example!

Just to be clear, I already own a 5DMk2, but was looking for a good point and shoot and was looking for some 'objective comparisons. Yes, before anyone says I KNOW I am not comparing apples with apples!
 
I used cameras from A80, 40D, 550D, 5D and now 5D MarkII. While I can contend that in good light some shots can be comparable, as long as DOF is irrelevant, once I got my hands on FF camera, is really hard to be happy with anything less. I used smaller camera and while I enjoyed it's size and weight, once I compared the results with FF, I realized that nothing will fully replace 5D Mark II.
