I don't know much about DSLR

2/3 stop.

G is newer, with motor for low end model.

Big price different too, $140 vs $480 .. something like that ..


If you dont know much about DSLR, get the 1.8, and spend on a flash, if you dont have one yet.

I assume you are using a body with built in motor?

i am using D60. ya, the 50mm 1.4G is more expensive than the 1.8D. I was wondering why the price has a big difference. cuz the only difference I know is 1.4 and 1.8.

Aiya .. if you have D60 .. then u need motor in lens wor ..

Well, I may also suggest 35mm F1.8G  ..

Since you got the D60 don't get the 1.8D, you can't use it.  
You must buy AF-S
AF is the one without motor.
The AF-50 1.8D doesn't have the motor
1.4  and 1.8 is about how wide the apeature can open.
(correct me if I make any mistake)
