I think Bj�rn's "experiment" should be read with considerable caution.
It is inadvertently staged to be in favour of Nikon. In the vignetting
example, they chose a WA-zoom from Canon which certainly isn't top
notch. It was selected simply because it was the only WA zoom his
Canon friend owns. Bj�rn, OTOH, has access to just about every Nikon
lens he fancies.
Also, since they're using jpeg files, they're inadvertenly testing the
quality of in-camera processing. It's especially evident in the last
image example, where both cameras shot with the same lens. Contrast
and perceived sharpness is lower with the Canon, but I would say the
highlights are considerably less attractive in the Nikon. It may be
more a result of different jpeg compression algorithms than anything
else, if I have got this right.

In direct comparison these two cameras perform
very close - each has its strong and weak points. Here is small
comparison
of these both cameras:
