drawing tablet

I want to buy an electronic drawing tablet, any recommendations? I'm looking to spend no more than $200 and minimum drawing area 4x5.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

It depends on how hardcore you're editing, but I'd suggest Wacom's Graphire 6x8, or the Intuos 3 4x5.  On the website, they're selling refurbished Intuos.

It's a tossup between size and functionality.  I don't have the Intuos so I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes, but I can tell you the bigger the tablet, the nicer it is to use (harder to carry around, but nicer).

thanks jkim, I'll look into it...the intuos might be a bit much, but I'll read up on it and decide.
