Tablet help

[Cybbe]

I have this old wacom tablet running on COM, and I figure it's about time to join this decade, instead of the previous one.

I've been looking a lot at the Wacom Bamboo, but I'm wondering if anyone have some experience with it, or know if it's as good as it looks or even worth the money at all ;o

Btw, I need it for drawing, obviously. It look rather rad, but I can't find anything drawing specific information about it.

well the bamboo is actually a tablet not designed for drawing! It's as the site says for navigation and adding notes to stuff.

Go for intuos or graphire if you want a drawing tablet.

I've got a Wacom Graphire and I love it, I prefer it over a mouse any day. I think they are all pressure sensitive and some are angle sensitive as well. I love it.

[Pericolos0]

graphire is only pressure sensitive afaik. I have one aswel. For angle sensitivity etc you need special pens and an intuos i think... i'm not sure.

Heh, that's what I was fearing, really. I can't afford the intuous

Maybe a Graphire though

Get it at ebay - it's cheaper and wacom should be that much of quality that you can use it in second generation as well.

If you don't have a problem with wicked drivers and battery driven pens you can also go with the Pentagram O'pen XXL

I'm tempted to get me one of those Graphires...

Totally do man, as a techy they let you want to draw more, they are pretty cheap for what they are and very good and last long. And if you don't use them to draw, they are so much better for browsing the Internet and your PC then a mouse... in my opinion of course.

If you're in the UK and in education, you can get educational pricing for Wacom stuff. I got my Intuos about £50 cheaper than usual from this site: http://www.mycomputerbits.co.uk/acatalo ... blets.html

yeah, also the fact that alot of people buy wacoms but end up almost never using them (like 95% of people in my class). There's alot of hardly used wacoms you can find on ebay.

I don't have access to ebay, living in Denmark. But I'll figure something out. For now, I still have my old tablet that works. Maybe the intous will drop in price ;o

Thanks for all the help though. At least now I've avoided buying some shit I can't use

[e-freak]

why can't you use ebay at denmark?

[Cybbe]

Because if I order stuff from the US, I have to find someone willin gto ship it that far, and if it even does get here, I have to pay twice the amount of what it costs due to shitty taxings and import rules... So it'd be silly

Oh, and I connected my old tablet. Apparently, it's an Intous, and the first of the series.

I just did a quick ~5 min sketch to see if it still works..

I uploaded it here

mh - what about ebay.de? Importing from germany shouldn't be that expensive.
