AF-D is same as Af but conveys distance to the body, so flash will work correctly in auto mode. Niether will AF if there is no motor in the body - 3xxx, 5xxx and some older models AF-S G has motor in the body so will focus on any body. It is also D so flash will work perfectly in auto mode. The 50mm F1.8D is a bit sharper, has less geometric distortion and less CA compared to the G version.
