yes D uses the camera's motor, it's older and cheap (under 100$ used). It is not stellar but good - usable from f2.8, sharp from f4. Some people who had both G and D said D focuses a little faster and colors are more natural and pleasant. I have to say the focus is accurate and pretty fast and I love the colors but no camera is magical, you can sometimes get very good photos other times worse depending on the light and your technique. But this camera is capable of taking EXCELLENT photos this is for sure! Another problem might be the firmware version - please check it and if it's less than 1.09 you should upgrade it (my camera came with 1.12 and I had no problems with it so far but I heard firmware less than 1.09 can cause softness and unreliable AF).
