Sometimes, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the D40X and K110D.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon D40X to show more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent D40X will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
