Which brand is better, Pentax or Canon?

No absolute brand is good, only which brand is more suitable for you.

Pentax is an old optical factory, and its optical technology accumulation is deeper than Canon's. However, because the electronic technology can't keep up after digitization, the body of Pentax digital SLR can't compare with Canon in focusing system and metering system. As for the lens, the concept of "small is beautiful" is hard to find in Pentax, and its lens is characterized by compactness and exquisiteness. Because of this, many hard indicators of the lens are not so pursued (for example, Pentax can be smaller and lighter than Canon, but the aperture is not big enough). To play Pentax is to play its unique charm, that is, although Pentax does not have powerful lenses such as 85L, 50L and Dabai, Canon does not have excellent workmanship and rich color expressions such as Pentax FA43, FA3 1 and DA40 (if you don't know, you might as well search these two "three").

Needless to say, canon is basically a road. Photographers or enthusiasts who shoot sports and birds, journalists and photo studios all use Canon Nikon. This is because the lens of Canon Nikon is full of focal length and hard index, which meets their professional requirements and suits their work. In the low-end product line, Canon also has the advantages of accurate metering and fast focusing speed, so it has become the choice of many people.

This does not mean that Canon's camera is necessarily better than Pentax, or Pentax's camera is necessarily better than Canon. Pentax plays with color and charm; Canon has high performance and high pixels. What suits you is the best, so it depends on your preference.
