Yes, digital zoom can sometimes be problematic, but in this case, the Nikon 8700 frame size is 3264 x 2448, quite a bit greater than even a 1920x1080 video, so pixels are going to be thrown away anyway! That's important - they're going to be thrown away! And digital zoom (up to a limit) will be more than acceptable in the video. Also note that when photographing with a narrow field of view you have then lost entirely any opportunity to play around.
By doing some variable zoom in Premiere, one can make photos appear quasi-video like. I use that technique now and then, preferring it to just static photos. Of course this was a special-purpose shoot and using a narrower view angle might end up being less labor intensive post-production, but one should always keep the options in mind. Just some extra thoughts...

Always best to leave the camera in the max setting always, so if you goof up, its not a big deal. Plus your ending talent will be better quality, as you have found.
