Ah, not quite. According to
here Sony, Kodak and Nikon led the field, to be joined by others (incl Canon) later.
This doesn't say anything about the capabilities of current models of course, in particular their suitability for astrophotography. I've been a Nikon user for a couple of decades myself but proclaiming "Canon sucks, Nikon rules" is utter rubbish won't entice anyone to help out with advice.
Incidentally, I think the Nikon D40 would be better suited to astrophotography than the D40x, because of its better low-light ability and lower noise. But that's mere speculation on my part.
