What are some general opinions on this if any? Aside from the obvious no viewfinder on the Canon and memory vs hard drive, what are the thoughts on these two and their relative performance?

My reading seems to draw me to the conclusion that the Canon is slightly sharper, but the Sony has much better OIS. It would also seem the low light is better on the Sony (I've seen that already, but not side by side with the Canon), but the Canon might be brighter in some low light situations at the expense of noise.
