I think every camera brand has some features that others don't. Canon's
dof mode is certainly a great feature that I wish my ZX-5n had. However, I
am fairly sure that Canon does not have the Pentax trap focus mode found on
the latest models of Pentax auto focus slrs. For the uninitiated trap
focus involves using a manual focus lens and pre-focusing on a set
location (such as a prospective bird roost), setting the focus mode on the
camera body to auto and locking the focus down with cable switch F, I
believe. When your subject arrives at the focus point it will trip the
shutter.
