I will like to share my personal experience with canon IXUS 275 HS. We has my title says its a nice outdoor camera because when I used this camera for out Door I got some good Click, and When I use it for indoor pic well pic is not that bright and clean well 12 mega pixel I can expect for more in Indoor Pic.
WEll handling and Menu picture of the camera is Good
USB connection is supported even in XP OS.
Zooming Pic Quality are also good but not the best. Today is a DSLR in fashion so dont compare this with DSLR Quality Picture quality
Talking about the Battery has my personal experience on complete charge I can use it for a hole day with flash and clicking more than 100 Pic . in short battery life is good
Bottom of the Line is its and average product .
