tablets

What are your thoughts on the Bamboo Tablets?

I guess a half a loaf is better than no loaf at all!
Sorry about that, I couldn't help myself. If you get one and find you like working with a tablet/pen in place of a mouse you will find yourself looking for more features as are in the larger ones with all the bells and whistles.

I know high-end retouchers who use a Bamboo. It's fine for image editing.

I dont really prefer Bamboo Tablets but I prefer Wacom Tablets.

I have an Intuos, Bamboo and a Cintiq which are all Wacom products. They each serve their purpose. I use the Bamboo when I am traveling as it is nice and light. If doesn't have as much customization available for it but it is better than not having one. I think it is a good option for someone that is just starting out with a tablet.

Thanks everyone for the comments! I greatly appreciate them. I am looking at the Wacom Intuos4 Small Pen Tablet and Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Small Tablet.

Don't overlook the Intuos3. Some who upgraded from Intuos3 say they didn't gain anything special. (Others, of course, thought it was a good move.) I've been using an Intuos3 (small) for several years, and I'm still delighted with it.

Thanks, I have read the comments on those too. Decisions, Decisions!!!

Hey Hope.... Any tablet (from wacom) is better than any mouse. they tale a litlle getting used to but they offer so much more control.

Well, I received my Bamboo tablet yesterday. Boy, do I have a lot to get use to. I think I will like it. Thanks for all of your help!

I just bought a wacom 4 small tablet last week still getting use to it

The Bamboo is great. Don't know what I don't know about the so called better models

My first tablet is the Cintiq - and it takes a LOT of getting used to. I still use the mouse for many functions because it's faster. For fine detail editing/drawing the tablet pen is better.
