Pardon my ignorance - what is a "Grote" zoom?

Dutch for "Great" I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong). There was an image Canon posted with a mysterious camera called the "Grote Zoom" a couple months back. Nothing solid about it, only this picture on the Dutch Canon site.

It's not only there on the Dutch site, also on the UK site, the German site, etc...

The language is Dutch, and that's where I first saw it posted. (Canon NL). It's also no longer there. At least, not on the original page it was found. It now looks like this:

It's still there, but nearer to the bottom of the page. Here it is in English:

http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_Camera/expert/index.aspx

The words used on that page are "high zoom":

"We are dedicated to providing premium image quality and control in stunning, compact bodies. The next model in the Expert Compact range will combine a large sensor and high zoom for outstanding images at a distance.

Okay, see it now. It's in the flash video.
