A little off topic but you may want to visit this link and enter your serial number to see if your D5000 isn't part of a recall. Just in case you wonder why your camera might die on you.

I'm not familiar with nikon-mount lenses, but I'd suggest a 50mm. 100mm lenses seem to have problems with distortion unless you're shooting dead-on perpendicular to the glass.
