Will this be a good video camera too?

The Nikon D5100 blurs the line between the Nikon's non-Pro DSLR lineup like Nikon D3100 with more expensive Nikon D7000. The Nikon D5100 can be considered as an 'upper-entry-level' DSLR targeted at beginners who have outgrown the basic budget model dslr. It features a 16.2 CMOS sensor, 1080p (H.264) video recording capability and an articulated 920K dot LCD in a relatively compact body. Like its predecessors within the same price range it features a pentamirror viewfiender and a 11-point AF(autofocus) system capable of tracking subjects by distance and color. The Nikon D5100 also features a Improved Full-Time AF-F mode for use when shooting in live view mode. It is also the first Nikon DSLR to feature in-camera speacial effect filters while shooting stills or video.

I don't know anything about video… Is this going to take good videos? I have a kodak easyshare c195 and the video sucks, that's about all I know. Is "1080p (H.264) video recording capability" good?
thanks!
