Nikon D3100 vs. D5100

I currently use my SLR for mountaineering, climbing and other adventure photography so I used a D60 currently which is nice and light / compact.

However, I need something that will do movies but which I can still use with my currently lenses. I was looking at a D3100 or D5100. Can anyone suggest what I will really gain from the 5100 over the 3100 other than a slightly better sensor. I'm uncertain if I will honestly notice any difference. They appear to weight about the same.

Also any advice on the movie shooting capabilities of them would be appreciated as I am relatively unfamiliar with SLR movie making. Up to now I've been limited to GoPro footage.

Thanks in advance.

The 5100 has a moveable LCD which has a 960k dot resolution compared to the fixed 230k dots of the 3100.

The 5100 also has the same sensor as the the D7000 meaning its better at higher ISO's.
