Go for the Panasonic, their travel zoom line of cameras are very highly regarded, I've recommended them to friends and family and they are great. Great wide angle, great zoom, easy to use.
Nikon makes great DSLRs, but for point and shoots they're not as good, Panasonic, Canon and Sony are generally better.

I just meant that their travel zooms are generally really good.
I haven't heard anything specific about filming with them, sorry I can't help more.
