Or blow up a small area (within the focus plane), and see which is sharper. Or better still, take a photo of a moving target at night. One advantage of a DSLR is that you can get a sharper photo with less light and a shorter exposure time. On web-sized photo, taken on a sunny day, you just can't see the difference. If you take a photo at night even a complete amateur like me can tell the difference. A DSLR isn't like a Ferrari, which blows the competition away in favorable conditions. It's like a Four wheel drive that can be used anywhere.
