I don't think you can begin compare the two. I've not owned an S3 but comparing a 400mm zoom to a 1300+ zoom (35 mm equiv.), but even the atmosphere at a zoom range of 1300mm has an effect on IQ. Maybe a fairer comparison would be both cameras set in the 400 mm zoom range, side by side.

Here's pic of the moon shot at full optical zoom with the SX60 at shutter speed 1/100 sec. hand held. Shot by my wife a few days ago, looks pretty good to me.......

The image quality of the SX60 would have been far better if they didn't crammed so many megapixel on such a small sensor. The sensor on the SX60 should have 8 MP at most in my opinion.
