Here is something for you to look at: http://www.nikondigitutor.com/eng/d40/index.shtml Nikon started doing "Digitutors" for most of the cameras that they were bringing out. It's basically a load of video tutorials, etc. Hope this helps.

should be canon tho
is there anything in the canon lineup that competes with the d40s in that price bracket? I dont think the 350d goes down that low (it's on par with the d40x if im not mistaken).

If I want to take a picture of stars for example, what would be the settings that I need to change?
If it's pure-stars, you can do the lowest possible aperture, if you want to capture other things too (some trees and/or far city scape) set a higher than normal aperture (say, f/14 or f/22). In either case you're looking at a VERY LONG shutter speed (when i do star pics, it's usually "a medium coffee"). Yes a tripod is necessary.

Yep I set it to aperture mode and leave the shutter open for 30 seconds.

This is a picture I took under a shiny moon:
