Recommend me a tablet

[jon-]

As per the title really. I'm finding the mouse is becoming the limiting factor now in photoshop. I don't really want to spend the earth (<£100) but I don't mind looking to ebay for a second hand unit. The Wacom Bamboo gets good feedback despite it's small size and target market.

Wacom Bamboo! Got one at work, even though they are a bit small they do the job nicely. Also use a wacom at home, older model though and have had it for years (still works perfectly). So, in conclusion, get a wacom

Same here
Use an A5 Wacom ('Graphire' iirc) for everything apart from gaming, have done for years.

I'd check which Wacom fits into your budget and go with that - the Bamboo setup looks pretty good


Can take a few days to properly accustom yourself to using a tablet, but once you do I'm sure you won't want to use a mouse for photoshop again


Cheers.

I have the white bamboo A5, brought it off a mate for £25, BARGIN!!!! its a nice bit of kit but I still use my mouse more if not instead of it. I have a Razer Copperhead mouse so I get very good response. If I had a bigger one if not the LCD one I reckon I would use it all the time.

I've wondered about buying an A4 tablet before but came to the conclusion that it'd be a bit too arm-wavey (its a technical term) for general use.

I have a friend who uses an A6 wacom for working with photoshop, illustrator, flash, etc.. and prefers it to the larger tablets.

Guess that's why they make them in different sizes



Cheers.

I ended up slightly busting my budget and buying a nearly new Wacom Intuos3 A5 Wide off ebay.

Can't wait to have a play
