Addressing two choices by the OP - Canon owns the P&S market. As far as choices go, Canon stands out. As far as color goes, Canon would be my choice. If you added Panasonic, it would be a tighter race between Canon and Panasonic, with Nikon a distant 3rd.

I have a small fortune invested in Nikon DSLR cameras and glass and they are great.
But, they were not my first choice for point and shoot. For a small point and shoot I use a Panasonic Lumix and for my choice of a larger bridge camera I selected a Sony.
Nikon and Canon are the big names, but they are not the only game in town.

I can second this. My DSLR's are Nikons. My P&S is a Panasonic Lumix ZS60. My current bridge camera, a Canon SZ50-HS is being replaced by a Sony RX10 iii.

Man, I would use my cell phone. All of this is beyond the pale.
I use my employer provided iPhone for photos and short video on occasion. I love how it does full-res pans and HDR snapsots. It is just too expensive to buy one for myself so I went for a DSLR and a couple of lenses. I enough left over to by a couple of celllular phones designed for calling people.

Go to dpreview and view studio shop comparison. It gives you the ability to check approx. 4 different camera brand shots results. You can also change the ISO and vary JPEG vs RAW shots. Very informative.
I have used Canon, Leica, and Sony point and shoots and all have their own individual pro and cons that you need to decide for yourself. I am aware Nikon Coolpix have a bold reputation but have only used the larger DSLRs which are very good.
I suggest you compare size, weight, telephoto and technical abilities important to you. I suggest if you do your research, you will ultimately choose from several cameras that will not disappoint you. A lot suggest Panasonic LUMIX which I agree are very good but sometimes the resulting photos come up a little “soft”compared to Canon, Sony, and Leica and although there are several with great telephoto, the end result may be lacking.
Happy hunting.

Panasonic LUMIX or Sony. Canon and Nikon for dSLRs.

My son took a Nikon p&s to Europe about 9 years ago and came back with some very nice photos. It was one of those that could fit in your shirt pocket, actually. They were in focus and provided him a range of focal lengths. I believe it was either 12 or 16 mp at that time.

Thankn you for your reply. Iam thick skinned so I don't get upset over rude commentators, just skip over them. I did get some positive comments about other brands that would satisfy my needs such as Panasonic Lumix

Why? They are both excellent cameras

Both good perhaps not necessarily the best. Do some homework on line or at your camera store. Each manufacture offers different pros & cons. At one point you are going to need to get your hands “dirty.”

I own several canon cameras I am quite happy with my choice never owned a Nikon so I cant comment on the Nikon
I own the Lumix Fz 2000 also the Lumix 2500. I am also happy with both these cameras.
I just started shooting again with the Panasonic Lumix 2500 I love it I do not have to carry a bag full of lenses.
I recently purchased the canon lens 15-85 I am sending that one back it weighs as much as the 18-200 I do not like the exposure quality on that lens.
I am shooting with my 18-200 as a walk around lens and carry the 70-300 lens for telephoto shooting. On longer trips I shoot with my Panasonic Lumix that one only weighs 3 pounds and I don't have to carry any lenses.
