If it is still a point and shoot it will suffer from the limitations of a point and shoot. Namely slower focusing, shutterlag,Higher noise levels as ISO goes higher...
The D40 is a DSLR so accepts additional lenses (not all of them as the D40 cannot accept non AFS lenses which makes lens choice a bit more expensive. Still that privilege of using different lenses comes at a price. guess you better consider if you want to keep shooting on a P&S or make the move to a D40 and start investing in a decent lense arsenal....
