Hi
To say i'm new at this is an understatment. I am looking at buying a

Wacom Intuos4 Small A6 Graphics Tablet or

Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch

I know they are quite far apart in what they have to offer but i was hoping some kind person can give me reasons for one or the other.
I will use it for repairing photos (which i have done in the past with PS, but it was an extremely long process though worth it)

I also want to try doing some art not that i am artistic in anyway, but want to try.

Any information at all would be good. I have read reviews and they all seen to shine but i would like the views of people who use them.

Cheers

I personally use the Bamboo and it does it's job just fine considering its price :-)

Hi Hawkeye,

I use the Bamboo Pen & Touch too. I find it perfectly suitable for the retouching & photoshop work that I do, and it also works fine with Illustrator.

I'd suggest that if you've never used a pen/tablet before, go with the Bamboo. You ca always upgrade at a later date.

By the way, I have the Bamboo touch at home, and the older bamboo at work - I have to say, I much prefer the older version (the pen is heavier, and the surface of the tablet is smoother) - maybe look on ebay for the older one?
