I have a Nikon D80 and I'm very happy with it. Still learning how to use it and take better pics, but its a great camera. I haven't tried another dslr brand though, to offer a comparison. I have a couple P&S Canons and they are great for what they are.
I know a couple people with the D40x and they are pleased with that camera. Alot of lenses that you can use with the D80 and maybe the D60 that autofocus, you can't autofocus on the D40. You can use the lens, just with manual focus. My aunt takes alot of sports pics of my cousins and they have turned out great. Also, my friend with the D40x takes great pics of cars, birds, etc.
I think you'd be happy with the D40x or a Canon....or an Olympus. But if you are looking for something small, easy to use, and less expensive....the D40 is probably for you.
Either way..its your choice as to what brand you buy.
