Do you use a Wacom Tablet?

[Jon Foster]

I'd like to try one out some day but our son wants one sooo bad it's killing him (he's a junior photog).

could you please advise me which tablet i could buy? what size would be enough? my desktop is not too big, so....i like the 16:10 size of the wacom A5. but its more expensive.

wacom is the best i can read....

whats the difference between intous and graphire? i dont get it. its only cheaper and wacom site itself i dont find a comparison, sorry.

i heard that some tablets have very slippery surface. i would like to have the lastest and most improved one for a reasonable pricing maybe.

i havent the faintest idea, as of some people told me wacom built some in 2005, and they sent it back to wacom, as they very pretty much useless, i dont know why. coordination porblems i guess.

i tried one pen, a wacom i think. what i liked was the sensitive pen, and the shortcut buttons, very fast working with the buttons, i use to press the keys 1-10 for blending. what i disliked was only, that i didnt know where i am in the screen, i kind of lost orientation very often.

do they have a program maybe, like money-back if you dont like the product, if i cant work with it?
i am living in germany.

thanks

I use an intuos 6X8. After switching to the tablet I completely abandoned the mouse.

I'm all mouse. Haven't tried a tablet, but the mouse works well for me.
