Put it this way, the *only* real thing I didn't like about the D40 was the lens issue - it bugged the crap outa me - it was *the* only reason I was still looking at upgrading. So, I bought the D40, then ended up selling it for less than I bought it for bc the lens issue did bug me...and my hubby bought me the D90 so I sold the 40. If I had it to do over again, I would've bought a camera w/out the lens issue from the get-go.

Put another way, let's say you get camera that forces the lens issue....let's say you then reallllly want a 50mm 1.8 lens. Well, you can't use the Nikon 1.8 at $100. You must spend about $400+ for lens w/ a focus motor. With *just* that one lens...you've now spent enough to have bought an upgraded camera in first place (a camera w/out the lens limitation).

I'm happy to help you!!

Ok, that makes sense. If I'm going to spend a lot of money on a camera, I want to it be & have everything I might want. QVC sells the D90 on a 3 payment plan, too.
