good day sir

in-body focus motor means that your camera body is the one responsible for rotating the lens to keep your subject in focus.

nikon's entry-level cameras (D40, D40x, D60, D5000 and D3000) does not have in-body motor, hence, they cannot rotate certain types of lens.

lenses marked AF-S and AF-I are the only ones that can auto-focus on the cameras listed above because they have motor built inside the lens.

if you buy a camera as kit, it usually comes with an AF-S lens.

if you buy a camera body only, make sure you get an AF-S lens. (AF-I lenses are a bit expensiive)

hope this helps.

This is all true but not quite complete info. Third party manufacturers like Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc, also have lenses with motors inside that will autofocus on the D40, D40x D60, D3000 and D5000. This is available only on their more recent lenses and may be a bit more expensive than similar lenses without built-in motors. Having said that, most lenses built for Nikon bodies nowadays are built with high speed motors inside. To me, buyibg a third party (non-Nikon) lens with a built-in motor tells me I am buying a new model of lens and not someold discontinued one although there are many old model lenses out there that are great. Just my 2 cents worth.
