The IXUS 255 was Camera of the Year in Europe in 2013.  I have the US version, the ELPH 330HS.  I also have the SX260HS.

I bought the SX260HS to go with my Canon G7X II to get a significantly longer focal length to make a better matched pair for light travel.

However, as an all round camera, I prefer the ELPH 330HS.  It does well to ISO 1600 and the lens is fairly fast up to around 120 mm equivalent; and then starts to get slow rather quickly from 120 to 240 mm.  Most cameras go the other way, getting slow pretty quickly and then leveling out at some slow F# the rest of the way.
