Tytus,
There are quite a few digital cams with 10x optical zoom now. The Fuji S5000 is one of those. I really really liked it but I didn't quite have the money to buy it. Another camera I considered was the Minolta Z1. Both cams seemed pretty good, I would have got the Fuji though.
www.dbuys.com has each cam for under 300 dollars right now. Both have 10x optical zooms and seem to be quality cams. I've tinkered with both in person and yeah...if I had the cash I'd have one of them right now.
