According to Digital Photography Review, just under four months since the D40 and Nikon has announced an upgraded tenmega pixel version of the camera. The new Nikon D40X is essentially identical to the D40 apart from its ten megapixel CCD, a lower base sensitivity of ISO 100 and faster continuous shooting (now up to 3.0 fps). The D40 is 6 megapixel and starting from ISO 200. Obviously the competitive target for this camera is the Canon EOS 400D, and it is clearly priced to achieve that at US$799 (NZ$1,145) including the 18-55 mm kit lens.
