I don't think the two are currently directly comparable.

They’ll never be directly comparable. Canvas is a bitmap drawing field, Flash is a vector drawing field with enhancements. If you want to do vector stuff you’re probably better off using SVG.

Absolutely, which is why I pretty much gave up using Canvas and decided to try Raphaël http://raphaeljs.com/
