As we saw with the comparison to the D80 (itself not the sharpest camera in the cupboard), the D90's default output is very soft, having had very low levels of sharpening applied. Canon, meanwhile, takes the opposite approach, delivering very crisp (and contrasty) images at its default setting. Other than that, there's little to choose between the two. Comparing the two in RAW will show how much underlying difference there is, once you scrape away the manufacturers' image processing decisions.
