Well I went with the 5000 after reading Rockwell's not so glowing review of the 3000.
I love my D40 and I don't see me selling it, but what I was really looking for was a way to carry around my D300 without all the weight. I'm pretty sure the 5000 can accomplish about 85-90% of that and that's close enough for me.
