This is an interesting comparison, but it is a bit narrow-focused: it
looks only at the specs, but does not involve the performance.
It also makes some mistakes in the analysis of the specs.
The first question that pops in my mind after reading this comparison:
has anybody who suggests that K-1 might be better for sports compared the
the AF performance? Those might be on par with each other, but given the
history of Pentax's AF lagging behind that of other "big" brand(s), I
would not assume that fact, unless there is a good proof of that.
Second, they didn't do a good job about the comparison.
As a matter of fact, it looks someone has an agenda in that comparison.
And that dictates the conclusions _despite_ the facts, not based on them.
The most glaring example (besides the aforementioned AF): how is Pentax
"excellent" for Daily Photography, while Canon is only good, while the
features shown in the comparison table show Pentax being worse: 1.
heavier, 2. thicker (with the rest being equal).
They've got it backwards!
(Actually, the weakness of Canon in that department it's length, not
thickness! But they omitted that part.)
And there are many other factors (even those that they've mentioned) that
they excluded from the consideration. E.g. they compare the availability
of lenses. (Never mind the comparison of their quality!)
Just by looking at the numbers, - CAnon has many more wide-angle zooms and
primes. Shouldn't that affect that suitability for landscape photography?
The same disparity in the telephoto department: shouldn't that affect the
suitability for sports photography?
I am not suggesting which camera is better from the lens' point of view, -
I am just saying that the comparison could be deeper. And I understand
that it would require a much bigger effort then just massaging the
published specs.
So, it is a rather shallow and in some aspects flawed comparison (or as it
is fashionable to say today: "rigged" ;-) ).
Nonetheless, thanks for posting the link, it is interesting to look at
this comparison.
Cheers,
Igor

It surprises me that the Canon does not have an articulating screen.
Though it is a touch screen.
