The D body has a few features that some find

also a little bit smaller and lighter.
Are you by "... wireless flash control in the body ..." saying
that I could
use my 360FGZ (hope I got the letters right) in wireless mode only
with D
but not DS?
Basically, with the D you need one 360FGZ unit and with the DS you
need at least two.
The D's built-in flash supports wireless control of the 360FGZ. The
DS will also allow wireless flash control, but you need one 360FGZ
mounted on the body to control a remote 360FGZ; its built-in flash
does not support the control protocol.
It's not a big issue for my photography since I don't use flash all
that often, but people who use flash a lot like the fact that they
can do wireless with just one external flash unit with the D model.
