The ELPH 330 /IXUS 255 is an amazing little camera, I own two of them.
Take a look at the daylight and night photos in these albums:

You can't go wrong considering the low price of these.

Hi Brian, I love how crisp these shots are with the ELPH 330 and would like to pick one up soon. I have one question though. I noticed that the photos are not 12 MP and that makes me think that you probably cropped or downsampled them. If it's the latter then is it because the photos don't look as good at 100%? Would you be able to post at least some full-rez pictures SOOC?
The images are taken with default in camera sharpening then reduced to 1280x853, and slightly sharpened for web viewing.
I have just uploaded two OOC shots (IMG_5606 OOC full res) and (IMG_5545 OOC full res) with default sharpening at full resolution for you to view. To see them click Original from the available sizes.

I never view them at 100%, but you are welcome. Probably in camera sharpening of +1 would give a better OOC result for viewing at 100% but then they would be too sharp when prepared for web viewing.

Thanks, Brian. There are so many images in your gallery and the image names (IMG_5606, IMG_5545) don't seem to be visible to me. Also, even if they were visible, one would need to click on each one to find out. Could you please post the direct links?
These will download the OOC full size images:

I see that you do not currently own the Panasonic ZS20. Just in case you've had any experience with it, do you think it makes sense for a ZS20 owner to get the ELPH 330? Would the 330 offer anything that the ZS20 does not in terms of IQ (not specs or features)?
I don't own any panasonics as I have not liked the accuracy of their color, so I cannot say much about the comparison, except that the pana has more zoom that the canon if that matters to you.
The thing that has impressed me about the small sensor pocket ELPH is its clean high ISO images, there is four hand held night shots that have been reduced and sharpened at the beginning of this album: http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/5128303546/albums/cruising
