I've got a nikon d70, like it a lot. My housemate's got a d40x, partly because I encouraged him to buy Nikon, and he seems to keep finding features missing on it vs the d70. Exposure bracketing is the most annoying, but also flash commander mode, and a few other bits and pieces. No real technical reason for the omissions, it's just to encourage people to buy the more expensive models...
Have a play in the shop - most of the reason I got a d70 against a canon 350d was because it felt good in my hands...
