You might want to hang onto your D40, just for outside FTS pics. I have the earlier model TG-2, and while it is great for in tank underwater water shots, I could not for the life of me get a good FTS. Maybe it is just me...
But the problem I had is that the TG-2 (and I think the later models are the same) have no manual focus setting, and I could not get good focus on corals when the pic was taken through the glass.
Also a tip (my apologies if this is old hat to you) is to use the manual white balance setting to get accurate colour (instead of blue dominant). I just pointed the camera to a white sand part in the tank and registered that for a setting. Colours would then come out near perfect. Sometimes still needed to play around a bit with exposure, flash or no flash, but most times pics were pretty easy to get near perfect.
I used this camera for snorkeling in Hawaii (mounted on a selfie stick), too, and worked great with vids, too.
