The flash you have asked about is a flash that is unique to Ritz Camera. I can see that your strategy is to reduce your flash cost. However, as a Nikon D-5000 owner and somebody who uses a lot of flash, I would not invest $100+ in that flash, as it is not a very powerful flash at all and it cannot realistically and fully use the TTL communications that are available on your camera.

If keeping the cost down and you do not need much flash power, first look at the Nikon SB-400 flash, then the SB-600 flash. In the long term you will be happier with a flash that can fully communicate with your D-5000 camera.
