Most people will have an opinion one way or another, and ultimately you'd probably be quite happy with either one. It will depend very much on personal preference, so be sure to handle each of them in person to see which one 'feels right'.

Other than that, you won't find more complete details than at DPReview. It will give you lots of comparison info to muddy your brain

. Find the camera you are interested in, and go to the 'compared to...' section of the reviews.

Based on this, I like the Canon...

Actually, a more important question is which one works best in low light without a horrible flash? This Canon I'm using falls apart in low light.

Dan,
A flash is never horrible. It is your best friend.
As a professional, I used flash for just about everything, including outdoor portraits.
The key to me is a very strong flash and diffusion of light via bouncing with diffuser or by controlling the light output, along with slow shutters.

Whatever you do, I strongly suggest you get a strong flash and go to garyfong.com or B&H and get the Gary Fong dome diffuser for $49. Well worth it and will make you look like a pro shooting flash pictures.
