[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 255843, member: 14443"] Between the G and D, the G is sharper and has nicer bokeh. I dont ever shoot open so its not an issue for me. from 2.8 they are the same. I shoot between 2.2-4.5 I have the D and friend who I shoot weddings with has the G. build quality is meh on the G. looks cheap and feels cheap. but the biggest reason I didnt buy it and bought the AFD wasnt because of price. it was the EXTREMELY slow AF. Id rather take a hit on the IQ since I stop down most times anyway, then take a hit a huge hit on the autofocusing. its just so slow. and try it on the dance floor when its dark and youre screwed. check this link.
