1] The D60 megapixel count has not been increased. It is still the same 10.2 MPs as was the D40x.
2] The D40 is only available in a kit with either the 18-55, the 18-55 and the 55-200, or 18-135 lens, you can't buy the D40 body by itself.
3] The D40x has been discontinued and the D60 is its replacement
4] The D60 adds to the D40x an active sensor dust removal system and RAW+JPEG mode, two important features which alone make the D60 well worth the additional $80 over the cost of the D40x.
