hey, guys! i'm saving to make my big step to DSLR.
My budget isn't big (to tell the truth, i have no more than 200$ right now, but i could get some extra 200$ and could sell my finepix s5700 for about 250$). I so dreamed of nikon d60 (to be honest, more because of the VR kit lens), but the kit comes up to 700$...and that i can't afford.
So, i was thinking of gettin' a d40x. But then i thought... there is no BIG difference between d40 and d40x (except the price and the MP). D40x has 10MP, and the D40 6MP. But i saw on dpreview.com that the senzor size is the same...
So, what would you recommend?

And, another thing... for wedding photography, a good and cheap lens for one of these two? anyone?

thanx in advance!
