canon digital camera 50x optical zoom image
WaveMotion
With the digital assist the, 10X zoom increases to 50X
What other compact cameras can compare?
Answer
Canon S5 has 12x optical zoom...
Now that said - here's a bit of advise:
Never, ever, ever use digital zoom. Forget about its existence, disable it on all your cameras and pretend it was never there! Then e-mail 10 of your frie.... oh.. no... don't do that :/
Here is why - digital zoom is not exactly a zoom. It's what we call cropping. Your camera takes a picture, then crops out the middle part of it (discarding everything around), and then, does the most horrible thing - it enlarges the picture to be as big, as if you took it using full sensor.
Why this is bad?
Because the quick and simple resizing algorithm in the camera will most likely irreparably destroy some of the information in a picture. What you should do instead, if your optical zoom is not enough, take the picture at max zoom level, then crop and if necessary resize at home with your photo editing program. Then you'd keep your original, you'd be able to see what resizing done to the picture and step back if needed, and finally you'll be able to use some sophisticated resizing programs/algorithms if need be, not the default algorithm in your camera.

Any compact digital camera for $400 or less?
The Overmi
I need a digital camera that can take good pictures, but most importantly have good HD video capability with excellent zoom that doesn't mess up quality.
I'm planning to mount the camera on a hat and record my target shooting. I need to be able to record small clay targets moving fast and far.
This is how I want the camera mounted:

HD video capability is really important here since I will be turning my head a lot and I need to be able to see something small moving away from me quickly. Ideally, it should be no more than $400.
Answer
For your budget $400, I would recommend Canon PowerShot SX50 HS, it's a best camera that have a good zoom (50x Optical zoom) and 1080p Full HD Video with a dedicated movie button.
