Considering Nikon have stuck by the F-mount since 1959 I think it's more than a little misleading to suggest the Canon has a wider choice of lens!
Virtually every lens, both manual and auto-focus, Nikon have made since 1959 will work with the D40, check out the
Wikipedia entry for the F-mount this will give you some idea of just how many lens are compatible.
