Anyone familiar with the Canon Optura camcorder?

This one?

I'm in the market for a camcorder but it has to be small since I already have a hefty digital Hi-8 camcorder I want to replace.

I see all these tourists in NYC carrying around tiny camcorders but the closest I could find to something like they carry is the Canon Optura.

Do you have any other suggestions for small camcorders other than ones by Sony? No Sonys please.

The only thing I know is that they are much better than the "Z" series of Canon camcorders.
