Nikon Camara flashes?
So here's the deal. I do a small amount of photography mainly for my own use. I am looking for an on-camara flash to help with lighting. I mainly only do outside stuff. Maybe inside once in awhile. I have a Nikon 5000. Which on-camara flash should I go with? SB-400?

I would skip the SB 400, it is really not that much more powerful than your camera's on-board flash (Guide 17 for your D5000, Guide 30 for the flash).
I would spend the money on a SB700, as it is significantly more powerful.
The SB400 is more appropriate for the Nikon Coolpix P7100/7000.

When it comes to flash, the stronger the better. You can tone down a strong light but you can't add to a weak one. It's perfectly normal to get a flash that's bigger and more expensive than the camera itself. Yes, the SB-400 is a good starter.
the SB-400 is an upgrade from the built in flash, but definitely does not give you what you really need for advanced lighting
look at the SB-700, or, if you can find it, the older SB-600.
