EOSHD, again and again - just watch video (check that it is 1080p quality) I posted above to see difference in low light ability. Where DIGIC 4 looks noisy, DIGIC 5 looks more usable.
And I don't get it why you don't consider ML features as Canon's advantages. There is no any Nikon or Panasonic camera with focus peaking, zebras etc. There is HDR video and precise audio control (even headphone monitoring for all models). Great timelapse features. Canon also capable of high bitrate (I get ~160mbps with sound) and ALL-I modes with ML. And a lot more...
For me it seems that you just hate Canon cameras, and that's why you see only negative sides.
