I know it has 1 more MP and a 12X zoom and all that stuff. What I'm interested in is in the quality of the image per se. Better? Worse? The same?

Selecting a Canon with traditionally excellent optics is a great choice.
Because of the extra one (1) MP, the Canon S3 provides a better overall image, particularly if you want to enlarge the image when printing.
Also, the Canon S3 has a larger optical lense in width, enabling it to capture a larger chunk of the actual photo being taken. Thus better photo quality.
The other quality control feature with the S3 is an image stabilizer . This greatly reduces any "fuzz" if you have a shaky hand or are taking photos from un unsteady surface.
If you are concerned with the image, but price is a concern, go with the Canon S2 (close to the S3), and you will have the same superior quality as the S3.
Here is a good recent review with picture quality info: http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_s3-review/
All the best in making your choice!
