This may help you http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16438/~/approved-sd-cards-for-d5000 - Some would say Sandisk & some say different.... I've always used Lexar but thats my preference...

always used Kingston 8GB [ two - one spare]

but only shoot large/jpeg Fine ... not RAW which uses lotsa memory in comparison

I use sandisc extreme. very good cards and had no problems at all with them.
Got 6 4gb ones and one 8gb ones , I am saving them up for me hols as i do not think I will be taking a computer with me to store pics on.

Transcend 16GB ones are about 17 quid and never had a problem with either of mine in a d90 and GF-1. I always tend to format in camera rather than in the card reader as well (not sure if it's an urban myth though that this may be better for the card!!)

I always format in camera. Formatted a few times in the card reader but often had to reformat in camera as it said it was faulty.

I use Sandisk and formatting in camera is a must.
