I've visted these forums before and I must say you all are very talented individuals. I finally decided to register, mainly because I have a few questions and so that maybe I can post some of my work here too. Yay for newbie!

Anyways, my main question: My cousin, who is very talented, and way better at art and drawing than I at this momment in time, she is wanting to get a wacom pad. Now I know this isn't going to "make her a better artist" but that's not what she want's it for.

She wants to be able to do her art digitally and and use photosop and corel without having to scan drawings and clean them up before using said programs. So I've got about $200 dollars to use to get her one, and I would like some advice on which ones are good fo that price range.

I looked on newegg -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?DEPA=0&type=&Description=wacom&Sub mit=ENE&Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go. y=0

and there are some that look good for under $200. I'm not sure how many of you use wacoms, but I would like any feedback you could give. Thanks again, and I'll be sure to try and post here and do some daily sketches.
