Landscape/Outdoor comparison SX40 v S95

Does anyone here own both cameras (or S90) and can comment on how they compare in terms of IQ for landscape/outdoor shots? I realize that the wide angle on the SX40 is wider and its a super zoom but given that they are around the same price I am wondering how they compare. I just checked out a load of shots on Flickr but I'm not sure how good that site is given the many variables of photographer and possible camera settings.

Is it a case that they are both about the same for landscape/outdoor but where the SX40 is the superzoom with HD video the S95 is the better choice for indoor/low light for around the same price? (I know the S100 has 1080 HD)

The bottom line is would I notice a drop in IQ quality if I switched from the S95 for landscape/outdoor? I rarely use video.

Thanks folks.
