Um . . .  several variables bother me here.

1)  different sensor sizes.
2)  different ACTUAL (not equivalent)  focal lengths
3)  (Like George) I think the cameras should have been locked down.
4)  Were they shot at the same manual aperture, shutter speed and ISO?

Without these being nailed down, it seems pretty subjective a test to me.
