Digital camera with good video recording?

I'm heading overseas in a few months and am wanting to get a new digital camera. I currently have a compact sony cybershot dsc-t20 but it's about 4 years old and the video quality is not great. While I'm away i'm planning on using the video function a lot but will also be taking still photos. So i'm looking for a camera that has good resolution and pixels, high optical and digital zoom and perhaps HD movie setting. I wondering whether I would be best with a still digital camera that shoots video or a camcorder that shoots still? Any advice? What models would you suggest best suit my requirements?

Thanks in advance :)

    High optical zoom and HD movie - Canon SX30 or Panasonic FZ100. I wouldn't care about digital zoom, though. It's a gimmick.
