I'm thinking about buying a graphic-tablet, but WACOM is a little bit expensive for my budget...

What recommendation do you have? Is there a cheap, affordable tablet out there you can recommend?

I have an el'cheapo Aiptek that I'm rather fond of. I've had it for two years and have just replaced the tip/nib. Its USB 4x6 and more than I need. I am an extensive user: Minimum of 4 hours per day, 8-10 on weekends.

Thanks Grafx,

I read your thread about your tablet. Does it have a touch-sensitive pen? I guess this is one of the most important features...

Shame i sold one of them today for £9.50 on ebay that included p&p you can get them in the uk ebay for less than that too, and brand new too. Go have a look...

Yup, you can double click by tapping twice and it senses the pressure when you're airbrushing. You can be gentle or mash down on it.

I own the cheapest Wacom on the market - Volito. It is quite small, but i am fully satisfied with it. The pen does not have a batery so it is very light.
