I have to admint, I really hate the D40 / D60 platforms. Requiring a buyer to go with AF-s lenses is silly, given that the body is in the budget / beginner category (they're generally Nikons best lenses, but they're EXPENSIVE!). Second, I hate the lack of sep dials for shutter and aperture. I know Canon does this too on their lower end bodies, but at least the camera can still autofocus.

However, if you do go with the Nikon setup, and purchase the AF-s lenses, you've got a great setup when you upgrade the body down the road.
