Canon managed to shave 2 inches off this year's Optura. So those accustomed to a more substantial camcorder will have to hold the new compact body to see if smaller is truly better for you. The Optura 30 is very similar, with the main differences being less zoom, and fewer manual controls and low-light options. Both cameras have share the same 2 Megapixel CCD and DIGIC DV image processor."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/camera-front-angled.jpg" /><br /><br />Has anyone purchased this camera? Thoughts on how it works?
