No, I wouldn't compare a P&S to the 5D.  Don't have to.  It doesn't 
compare well with the A1.  Check the ISO 100 studio shot here after 
processing with ACR (without noise reduction).  And remember that this 
is a studio shot with 100% perfect lighting and well controlled dynamic 
range.  Pretty disappointing.  It's the proverbial problem or trying to 
squeeze 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound bag.
