It's current tech vs current tech. Even if you compared it to the recently released 650d, the result wouldn't be any different.

I take your point though that you either want a compact or a DSLR. However if your just a casual photographer looking for entry level DSLR + kit lens image quality, then something like an RX100 is a more than feasible alternative considering it offers as good/better IQ (considering the lens aperture advantage), yet is a camera that can be taken anywhere.

Current for Canon's range yes

Current as far as sensor technology though? I'm too lazy to try to find when the Canon sensor was made compared to the Sony one but I suspect the Sony sensor is newer?

It's one of the premium point and shoot cameras which explains the price too and whilst it might be more portable than a DSLR, the options are more limited as the lens can't be changed. Different cameras for different purposes

Ok can get 600d after cash back for 348. The 650d is £400.

Is it worth the extra?

May i ask where you're getting it at this price?
