Let's face it - dynamic range, high ISO noise and all those traditionally explosive areas of argument regarding which camera is better is now generally history.

With DR and IQ across camera brands just marginally different, the other area of debate is which has better AF. Again, the differences right now across camera brands are marginal.

To me, Canon remains a preferred choice because of superb ergonomics. The way it handles, the way it feels on my hands. Can be subjective. But the grip on Canon cameras - including smaller bodies such as the R10, remain superior to my view.

Specs matters. Megapixels count (literally, especially). Ergonomics to me is more valuable than ever, especially as lenses become bigger / fatter / heavier.

Then there's the menu system. While Sony's menu layout and intuitiveness has improved over the past few years, Canon's menu remains the simplest to navigate.

Are we at the stage of photography when cameras across brands are becoming more similar in "technical" capabilities?

All the cameras are capable for basic photography. Canon support and build quality attracted me to the brand. Plus, I like the closed system Canon has implemented.   The parts of the kit just work and are backed by Canon.

No worries as I know who built it.
