FWIW, seems like people have very mixed opinion on rockwell's reviews.

Got tubes?
You keep saying that without any explanation, beerguy! 
I would say take any review with a grain of salt. Personally I usually read several reviews by different people/publications and see what they have in common. Those are usually strong points (positive or negative).
Oh, and andiruleu was close, but not quite on the spot... the D40 and D60 DO have autofocus, they just don't have a motor built in to focus lenses that don't have motors on them. This is probably a problem mostly for people who already have lenses without motors on them. You can always choose lenses with motors, and you'll also always be slightly limited.
Personally I went in between... I got a D50 and couldn't be happier! For now, anyway.

Brandon - he's just a guy with a blog. He's no a professional photographer, he's not "connected" in the industry; he's just a guy. He's quite frequently completely wrong about stuff but folks read it on his website and think that it's gospel.
Mention his name to just about any Internet savy professional photographer and they'll just roll their eyes.

As to ken i agree with Beerguy on his opinions. I remember a very heated debate on Dpreviews when one poster mentioned blowing from the mouth on your camera sensor to take out any dust...
As for the D40-60 as mentioned you could always get lenses with focusing motors however that would limit your selection a bit as well as cost you a bit more. Very popular lenses like the 50mm which are very cheap but still of very good quality would not autofocus on your body. Some people say they have no proble manually focusing but for others (including me) I don't find it very easy especially when shots have to be taken fast with no chance for repeat. The D50 That Brandon mentions seems to be worth considering too as it offers the best low noise high ISO performance of al the Nikon line up, except the D300 and higher pro models. It is even reported to be better in handling noise than the D200. goo luck with whatever you chose.
