Verdict
Pick the Canon EOS 650D if you prioritize higher resolution, sharper video (1080p), or a slightly newer model for a lower price. The Pentax K-r stays the better choice if in-body stabilization is essential for your shooting style or if the extra 1 fps burst rate matters for action photography.
