I have zero experience with flash and want to learn how to use it from zero, for example by following the Strobist blog.
What are the absolutely necessary specifications I should look for when shopping for a flash, and can I find something in a price range less than $200.00?
My camera is a Nikon DSLR.
Answer
What to look for? It really doesn't matter, as long as it has a manual mode.
I'd get 2-3 Yongnuo flash units and some decent accessories such as transmitters, triggers, stands, reflectors, umbrellas, etc. as well for that budget. But if you can find just about any manual flash a friend or family member has lying around; it can certainly keep you busy learning for months or more.
We already have a great answer explaining the different Yongnuo models, but really any of them will work for you to learn manual flash techniques and become a "strobist". See:
What are the Yongnuo flash naming conventions?
