They are all excellent.
Which you buy will depend upon a few things.
* how experienced are you using a fully adjustable camera (do you have a few years experience using a 35 mm SLR?)
* what subjects are you going to be shooting?
* who are your clients, if you are a pro?
* are you starting your camera system or do you already have a number of Nikon lenses?
If this is your first fully adjustable camera and you have no compatible lenses, buying the Nikon D40 with two lenses (18-55 mm and 55-200 mm) would be the best investment at the lowest cost.
If you have been using 35 mm SLR’s for a few years, the Nikon D90 or D300 may be just the one for you.
Take a look at all the DSLR’s made by Nikon and see which has the features you want and need for your style of photographyhttp://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/…
The cost for a D40 with 18-55 mm lens is about $450 on Amazon. You can spend over $8,500 on a body only if you were to need the features of the Nikon D3x.

if you like Nikon i would recommend Nikon D90
Fusing 12.3-megapixel image quality inherited from the award-winning D300 with groundbreaking features, the D90’s breathtaking, low-noise image quality is further advanced with EXPEED image processing. Split-second shutter response and continuous shooting at up to 4.5 frames-per-second provide the power to capture fast action and precise moments perfectly, while Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition System contributes to faster 11-area autofocus performance, finer white balance detection and more. The D90 delivers the control passionate photographers demand, utilizing comprehensive exposure functions and the intelligence of 3D Color Matrix Metering II. Stunning results come to life on a 3-inch 920,000-dot color LCD monitor, providing accurate image review, Live View composition and brilliant playback of the D90’s cinematic-quality 24-fps HD D-Movie mode.

Comment on Can I Still Use My Nikon Slr Lens With The New Nikon Digital Cameras? by Tom G

Yes, you can probably use the old lens with new digital cameras. Depending on which old lens you have and which digital camera you buy you may lose the ability to autofocus. Specifically, you may want to avoid the Nikon D40 or D40x bodies because they will be unable to autofocus a lens which isn’t an AF-S or AF-I lens.

Yes, with a few exceptions.
First and foremost – your old lenses will most likely mount on the new dSLR bodies, and you will be able to take pictures, unless those lenses and your 35mm body is 50-60 years old or so, even then you may be able to with a few minor modifications.
However, there are a few things you need to know.
1. Unless you go for a full frame body like D3, which retails for $5000, your lenses will automatically gain 1.5x the focal length. So your 28-80 lens will become 42-120. This may be good, or bad. Alternatively you’ll need a relatively cheap 18-55 lens to close the gap between what you alerady have and the wide angle you were used to.
2. The cheaper entry-level dSLR bodies won’t be able to auto-focus your older lenses. I mean D40 and D60. You need at least D70 (out of production) or D80 or any one of the more expensive models to do that.
Finally, if you can afford not selling the film body – keep it. There are a few things that film is still better for. For example extremely long exposures, such as 10-15 minutes+ are really not a viable options on digital as of today. So if you’re in habit of shooting meteor showers, city lights in motion or something similar, stick to film for those shots. Also film has far greater dynamic range, so for those shots requiring that feature, you may also consider a film body….
Good luck!
LEM.
