Answer
It can certainly be used for shooting fashion with all the right lenses, like a 24-70 mm f/2.8, 85 mm f/1.8 and 70-200 mm f/2.8. If you spend any time around fashion shooters, you will see that they are using Nikon and Canon systems with the above lens lengths
As far as Independent film? NO way.
The video feature on any still camera is only a feature.
Contact some production companies and see what they use. What you will see is they usually rent all their equipment ( http://www.birnsandsawyer.com/_camera-rentals/hd-cameras/ ) for two reasons. 1) there is a tax advantage renting instead of owing and 2) the technology is advancing so quickly you would be buying a new camera every 24 months or less and you can rent the latest and greatest in technology and get a tax break.
That said, if you are intending to produce an independent film, later which will be released as a 35 mm theatrical print, you will be shooting using a 3-CCD video camera at 24 fps.
I think you are aware that the maximum number of pixels used on a DSLR in the HD video mode is just under 2 mp. The HD video cameras capture three times that because they are using three CCD's instead of only one sensor like when making videos on a digital still camera
Here is a link to the kind of camera you will be using if you start the production of an independent film

Or better,

I suggest you first spend some time working on someone else's film, learning the ropes and getting a good handle on script writing, script break down to shooting blocks, budgeting, shooting, lighting, set building, sound recording, Foley, editing of video and sound and all the other skills necessary to produce a film, indie or other. By then you will have a really good idea of what camera(s) you will need for the script you are planning to shoot.
If you do eventually choose the 1D, Mark IV, note that there is some new firmware for it. "A firmware update has just been announced for the EOS 1D Mark IV. Version 1.0.6 improves the autofocus tracking performance for subjects moving towards or away from the camera at low speeds"

What is Nikon's strategy with their P&S cameras?
Picture Ta
I don't get it either. It seems like Nikon has rolled over and simply abdicated the throne to Canon - and several others.
The new P5000 looks like a serious entry into the P&S market, but this is the first one for a couple of years that looked like a real player.
Otherwise, they seem to have fallen off the map.

I'm just trying to open up a discussion that seem to be suggested...
Answer
If I was starting a camera company today, I doubt I would consider the P&S market. It's saturated with companies of every shape and colour. There is competition from cell-phone cameras. Mega-companies like Canon, Sony and Panasonic have the ability to build the electronics, assemble and market the cameras. Nikon doesn't have the facilities to make chips like others can, so they must buy the electronics from others. Combined, I can't imagine there's much profit to be made.
However, what Nikon is great at is optical engineering and building a true photographer's camera. They are a giant in the SLR market.
