Quick low-light test (SX40 vs T3+55-250mm IS II)

I went to a shop this late afternoon and made a quick comparison between SX40 and my T3+55-250mm IS II too see how much is the advantage of the SX40 at full zoom in terms of detail retention. Scene is about 15+ meters away.

Both taken handheld and cropped to match the framing. View the original for 100% crops. Pardon the differences in settings.

Given the 100% advantage of SX40 in terms of optical zoom, I think my T3 did pretty well here.

Your thoughts?
