• Final Tablet Pick. Which one is for me?
    11 replies, posted
Well I'm finally getting my tablet only i don't know which one of the few i should choose. I have narrowed it down to the Wacom Bamboos (Plural) The only problem i'm having is deciding which is for me, I will be •Sketching •Inking •Digital Painting •Texturing (Probably VERY VERY little of this just for fun) [url]http://www.wacom.com/bamboo/[/url] I have heard the Bamboo Pen&Touch would be good enough to me and it seems cheap, However i can get the bamboo Pen alone cheaper, But i have also looked at the Bamboo Fun though that is $100 more. Any advice?
Well I'm in a similar position to you, and was looking at the same tablets as you. Then I was shown this - [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trust-Screen-Design-Tablet-TB-7300/dp/B0013SQVG0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1256803137&sr=8-3[/url] While it is cheaper than a Wacom it is apparently just as functional and reliable, so I think im gonna get one of these

Though think I'm sticking with wacom.
Cheaper, but much smaller. I have used both large and small tablets and prefer the larger ones, I just find them easier to use. Of course, this is just personal preference though. If you compare the tablet I posted to a similar sized Wacom tablet you'll see a substantial price gap
Rule of thumb is to always go with Wacom. I recommend the Bamboo Pen, Touch/Pen&Touch is some gimmicky shit that you'll end up never using. It's like a giant laptop touch pad. Not worth the money. Since you're only going to use it for art you only need the Pen, Touch is for browsing.

I had two Trusts, both different, and they sucked so much. When drawing a straight line, the line would come out curved and that is not because my hands are wobbly. Just pick one of those cheaper Wacom's, they will suffice
Persionaly, I have the Bamboo Fun, and it's the best thing ever! I have another bamboo tabblet, (although I can't remember the name) and it isn't near as awsome.
Get an intuos, i have a 3 and this bad boy is amazing.

I'm getting my Bamboo Fun this Monday I was going to get Pen at the first place, but I thought I'd just go with it and get the Fun. Sounds really...Fun.
