Bumping this. I’m thinking of picking up a D40 as well (IF YOU USE PAYPAL YOU GET 20% OFF AT NEWEGG).

Admittedly, I did not do too much research but I did read that the D40 does not have a focus motor and autofocus with many Nikkor lenses will not work. Does this mean it does not have autofocus altogether or just not with certain lenses?

Means the lens has to have the autofocus motor. That’s what turned me off from the D40/D40x. I ended up ordering an Olympus E-510 from Newegg; $675 for the camera body and two lenses. Has optical image stabilization, supersonic wave dust elimination system, a live-view LCD and two kit lenses - 14-42mm (28-84mm 35mm eq.) and 40-150mm (80-300mm 35mm eq). Good deal for someone moving up from a mega-zoom point and shoot camera.
