I would go with the nikon, because the Panasonic will not give you the better focus and the make sure the ISO is high to get a better quality photo.
The most cost effective nikon coolpix camera is the S8100. With its 12.1 Mega Pixel clarity, the price starting at about $205 makes it not only the most cost effective but a great deal.
Shutter speed is so important. Two cameras really fast shutter speed that also have great features are the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-HX5V and Nikon Coolpix S8100.
