Nikon d5100 or d3200 for Video use?

Hello,

Im wondering which camera is better for making videos between Nikon d5100 or d3200. It would be my first DSLR camera, and i would probably be using it mostly for Video recording (65%). Getting some of your opinions would be great. Thanks

Here is one comparison between the two: http/snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-D3200-vs-Nikon-D5100

The D5100 does have a flip-out LCD screen that the D3200 is lacking. If you are using an external monitor or you don't mind using the view finder to frame your shots then this might not be important to you.
From a look at the reviews the D5100 might be the better choice between the two for recording video.
