The first one looks better to me..... What are we comparing?

Hmm, the composition looks identical, and not really very exciting. Personally I don't really take a lot of test chart photos. Honestly, it is a bit tough to compare them on a monitor. They both looked about the same in terms of sharpness to me. Color or lighting seemed different, but not enough to make one worse than the other.

The colors look the same but the white is more accurate in the 2nd one.

It looks like those cards you can use for comparing cameras. You take a shot with all the cameras you want to compare and than look at the pictures and compare the colours with reality, check the vignetting (or whatever it is called) etc...

I think Nick means "what" as in different cameras, different settings on the same camera, dSLR vs P&S. Camera make/model has been stripped from the exif data, so it seems as if the OP is trying to make a point.

I don't see a whole lot of difference between the 2. The second one looks sharper throughout the entire frame. It also looks brighter, but that seems to be because of a longer exposure.

If this has something to do with your photographing a book and then performing OCR (http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?p=257116#post257116), why don't you take a photo of some pages with each camera and then see which is more accurate in your OCR software. It looks as if either of these should be just fine, though.

Number two is ever so slightly sharper, ever so slightly brighter and has more blue, thus making it less warm than number one. Also, two has slightly less lens distortion than one.

So, which one is better? Not enough of a practical difference between them to judge by these chart shots, since all of the differences exhibited in this example can be easily tweaked to produce nearly identical results.
