Which camera is best for my purposes?

I'd like to take take pictures and make some short videos for uploading to Youtube about food. I've been offered a Nikon D-3000 18-55 VR or an Olympus EPM-1. The last time I bought a camera was over 15 years ago and I don't have a clue as to which of the two would be better for my purposes.

Any suggestions?

The Nikon D3000 does not have a movie mode. The Olympus E-PM1 has Full 1080 HD Video.
