For anyone considering this, please note that if the flash is iTTL-compatible, you'll be limited to 1/500s. (This is because of the flash duration at full power of the Nikon iTTL flashes of the same vintage.) A "dumb" flash will sync at all speeds since the centre pin is live at all times and the flash doesn't talk to the camera through any other pins; your t0.5 and trigger become the limiting factors. (Many radio triggers will not work reliably above 1/500, and only a very few are usable above 1/1000. A shoe-mounted flash or a cable connection doesn't have a trigger-speed limitation as such.)
If only that 6MP sensor had a broader ISO range. If you're not shooting for the big print, 6MP goes a long way.
