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

Dutch for "Great" I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

grote=big/large or size. in this particular case it's large. or in english long/super zoom

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, but the picture seem to since been changed.

Okay, thanks for clearing it up. Google translate says it translates directly to "great". Yes, obviously in this case in means long. Not sure how accurate Google translate is with basic words.

It's a mess in dutch. Still amazing that it works. It does allow you to read and understand foreign texts. A skill that takes years to master.
