It's pretty well been agreed on that TTL flash works best at ISO 400 on the D. And even at that it tends to be inconsistent. I have had much better luck with 'Auto' mode than TTL. The 500FTZ does not have an 'Auto' mode, the 360FGZ does. The 360 also has wireless flash capability, which is VERY cool! Stick with the 360, or, save a bunch of bucks and go with a Vivitar 285HV, Sigma 500, or a similar unit, they're powerful and very reliable. (Of course they don't have the cool features or 'sex appeal' of the newer units.) ;-)
