There was an excellent article in MacWorld about a year ago concerning
digitizers for the Mac.  They compared 4 different ones, I believe.
The cover has a picture of Andy Hertzfeld leaning on a Mac displaying his
picture.

In the same vein, does anyone know of any digitizers capable of accurately
reproducing text (or text and line drawings)?  Thunder Scan is just above
the barely readable level, and Magic is insufficient.
