The Samsung WB500 is one of the few compact cameras I've seen with such zoom capabilities. I'd give the Samsung WB500 an 8.5 out of 10 on still and 8 out of 10 on motion capture.

The Samsung WB500 gives you a good mix of form and function but on the higher end of the price spectrum (the wider angle and manual mode could have bumped it up).
