just came back from CPtested AF-S 1.4 and AF-D 1.4...
AF-S(lower) than AF-D(ynamic) when trying to focus on a similar subject... AF-D response was definately better.
Colour-saturation and vibrance, AF-D showed a better picture compared to AF-S.
AF-S is of a better grip than AF-D as S is bigger than D.
Conclusion... the price does not justify the fact that the older D lens works better than S lens.
these were my humble comments after i tested it out with D300 system

Old wide to normal prime lenses are all focusing very fast on D300/700/3/3x. Thanks to the AF module.
But AF-S 50/1.4G is faster than AF 50/1.4D on D40/40x.

The CA & corner sharpness of the newer AF-S 50mm is better than the older AF-D. And that's the plus point here. Hope the price will go down in a couple of months time.

sadly this was the case when i tested with D300, however, below was another comments from other CSer who viewed differently
Wonder how you arrive at that conclusion... if I'm not wrong, the D40, D40x and D60 do not have a focus drive pin -- you must use AFS lenses in order to have autofocus capability. 50mm AF-D cannot autofocus on the D40x.

I meant, this AF-S 50/1.4G lens is more for people who want a normal Nikkor that can autofocus on D40/40x.
Canon has 3 50mm lenses lined up. I just think that there is another faster 50mm coming from Nikon.

For those who can afford, the new AFS 50mm f/1.4G should be had:
(a) for those who DSLRs cannot drive non-AFS lenses but on manual focus
(b) for those on FX who needs better a overall better IQ lens; even if it's slight
(c) last but not least, for those DSLRs who can AF with this new baby, the speed should be very welcomed if you fo AFC + CL/CH
