Buying a tablet, any suggestions?

(If I posted in the wrong section then move this, I haven't been on an online forum (especially this one) in years.

Hello all, I am thinking about buying a tablet. My reason is that I want to make it easier to work on my comic faster and better. I use a mouse for my art right now and its painfully slow, so I hope that a tablet will help me.

If anyone could tell me what I should be looking for specs wise I would highly appreciate it. My budget is 100$.

I did some research on my own, so I know that I don't need a huge tablet, but I was hoping for input on manufactures, and what you recommend, ect.

I would recommend a Wacom Bamboo. It's what I personally own.

wacom is the best that i've used, I have one of the older bamboo fun's and it's great imo, i've had it for a good 2 or 3 years using it a lot, and it holds up amazing, i've gone through 1 tip on the pen and the pad has little to no scratches. They're also really responsive. Only downside is like all tablets, it takes awhile to get used to

I agree with the Wacom suggestions...

though, perhaps you might be interested in their new "Inkling" product, ha. http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php/167215-Sketch-Tool
