Steve, I agree with you 100%, that it's more the photographer than the
equipment. Believe me, I wanted to add "that my photo composition,
indoor white balance (no flash on new born's face), dark area clarity
and overall rendition of the scene - baby, mother and father - was
better than the Kid's with his Canon EOS T3i. Just that my humility
prevented me to add these lines.
But what I noticed was, the Kid was shooting in fully Auto mode -
equivalent Green mode on Pentax - and still all his photos turned out
crisp, clear, colorful, sharp and perfectly exposed - when I had to do
some fine tuning from the initial shots. I shoot mostly in Av - 80% &
M - 20%, Spot Metering.
May be the Canons have a better hardware and software built into their
cameras, because I noticed this also on a Canon 60D in our group tour
of Europe last fall.
I was shooting with my Pentax K20D and a Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 + Tamron
28-75 f2.8.

Maybe. I've noticed that my old Nikon D70's pop-up flash does a far
better job than any of my more modern Pentax flashes. Flash
photography is another one of Pentax's Achilles heels. I avoid it if
possible.
But in-body image stabilization? Compatibility with even old lenses?
And the great glass? That's what keeps me using Pentax.
