The 20D and similar DSLRs do far less in-camera sharpening and adjustment than do compact digitals like the Sony DSC-S70. Post-processing of the RAW or Large/Fine .jpg files with a digital editor and applying sharpening tools such as Unsharp Mask will give better results. In addition, compact digitals have very short focal length lenses which give much much greater depth of field. While the Sony lens is "equivalent" to 34mm-102mm, its actual focal length is only 7mm-21mm. Comparing the 20D with the zoom at 55mm and f/5.6 (wide open, it's "softest" setting), the same shot with the Sony would be at ~11mm and f/5.6 (it's optimal aperture a couple stops down from wide open). The much greater depth of field of an 11mm lens at f/5.6 v. 55mm at f/5.6 gives the impression of greater sharpness.
