Well, I just had a look at the Canon pic (their example #2), and... how can I say this... did they not notice that the camera focussed well forward of the model? (Look at the sharpness of her elbow compared with her eyes) Maybe the stories about the 10D's AF are true ;-)
Actually, why they used AF for a portrait shot is a mystery - the model must have been *delighted* about how sharp the hairs on her arm came out...
On the actual topic - the two pics are too different to compare much: I'll wait for the famous DPReview studio scene before I make any decisions about image quality.

I must say, after I downloaded both the .jpg and the .tiff images taken
with the 10D, I am suitably impressed!
I opened the images with Apple's "QuickTime Player" and the quality of
the image is awesome! I blew up the image sizes to at least 3 or 4 times
what actual life size would be, and the detail is most incredible!
It simply doesn't wash out or pixelate as the image gets larger...
That's with the 10D. Now I have to go look for the *ist-D images, but I
know that's just going to be an exercise.
This quite clearly shows the quality imagery available with digital today...
