Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilising at that time. Here is a front view dimensions comparison of the D5100 compared to the D700.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D5100 and D700 is 66 and 54 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking technical specs. The image here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D5100 and D700.

As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The D5100 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon D5100 will give you extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent D5100 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
