I don't have the Nikon D40, but I did get a D60 last year.. after 30 years 
with my Canon AE-1 I am very happy!!
from Amazon, it is a bit more that $600 , but it does come with 2 lenses:
http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D60-Digital-18-55mm-55-200mm/dp/B00154OS7Q/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1245466862&sr=8-7

Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm AF-S VR Zoom Lens + Nikon 55-200mm 
AF-S Zoom Lens + 8GB SD Card + EN-EL9 Battery + Case
 
Price: 	$729.95

the D40 lens format is smaller than the standard Nikon lenses, but it is also 
a great camera.
