    I would go with the D40 unless:

    1. You plan to crop your photos heavily
    OR
    2. You plan to make very large prints (greater than 12 x 18)

    I don't always agree with this guy, but here is an article that explains the differences:

    As for learning, I joined flickr and looked through tons of photos and studied their composition and exif data (data that tells you the settings on the camera that took the photo). I read the book "Understanding Exposure" and simply went out and took a ton of photos trying different things.

    I hope this helps you to get started. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    What you probably found in your research is that the D40 does not have an internal focus motor so you have to buy lenses that have a built in motor (AF-S for Nikon lenses). This will limit the type of glass you can buy. With that said I started out on a D40 and its an awesome body. If you don't want to be limited in that way I would look into the D80, D200 and D90 (depending on your budget). They are all excellent cameras. In terms of lenses I like the 18-200VR for those just starting out. I'd also pick up a 50mm f/1.8 for only $100. Its fast, sharp and the best bang for your buck lens out there. Fast (f/2.8) standard zoom and telephoto zoom lenses will run you more than $1K, so the 18-200VR should keep you satisfied for a long time until you want to get pretty serious about photography.

    Sure I'm always willing to answer questions about Nikon gear. Hopefully I can answer them ;-)
