tablet., suggestions? Options

[incredibleupset]

ok, i am going to purchase a tablet soon. i'm just not sure what one i should get. wacom makes good ones i heard, but I want to hear from you guys if you have any experience. what am i going to do with it, mostly digital painting, drawing, sketching, what have you. my price range is basically $500 and below. i was going to buy the bamboofun for my cheapskeetness, but i dunno.

I wanna get one for my birthday next month.
Then i can own on iSketch
But, i'm clueless as to which are good, sorry!

Wacom. Anything by them = gold.

I bought an off brand one from Fry's, and it's okay, it's just not amazing. I've messed w/ the Wacom Bamboo ones, and, well, I'd totally trade anyday.

Just check out some sites and browse the user comments.

^ agreed. i have a bamboo wacom & it's awesome. i definately recommend it. it's easy to use and fits into your price range. i plan on upgrading to an intuos3 6x8 very soon.

so your looking for an tablet?
i own a bamboo its really nice cause its used for both lefty and right handed people
(im left handed)
and if you use it for photoshop its really cool cause if you lightly draw its light and the harder your press the darker it gets
its literally like drawing on paper

but i know its expensive, mine cost around 300 dollars, but it was a present from my parents cause it was my sweet 16
but i also know that the wacom is really good too

o0o0o0o. i like the suggestions. kreios, that quote is really making me lean towards the intuos. but missuchiha likes her bamboo. i think i might get the bamboo so i can have money left over. there's no way i can get the cintiq unless i really REALLY work hard. i think i might buy it off of amazon.

I use a Wacom Graphire and I can't say enough good things about it. I've had it for about 2 years now, and it's never given me a problem, not one malfunction, and I'm not really gentle with it xD. It draws beautifully in photoshop, the pressure-sensors are amazing, IMO.

I only paid $200 for it, but it's probably one of the better investments I've made.

Here's a link :3

bamboo is made by wacom. it's just their starter tablet. :p
i'm still standing by what i said before. go with the intuos3. i was going to buy it when i worked at best buy a while ago ($50 off with the discount!), but they stopped selling it there before i had the chance. you'll notice a HUGE difference between bamboo & intuos and it's totally worth the extra money.
