honestly a nice canon point and shoot like the G9 or G8? will do you justice those cameras are prime time point and shoots with SLR setting adjustments.
id suggest looking into a leica.

D40s are not that bad. they are a good entry level DSLR, just learn to shoot in manual. lenses matter alot more than the body. i would go with that and you can always upgrade from there.
