A Graphic Tablet 2010-06-06 14:30:21 Reply

Hello, I want to buy a graphic tablet to make my animations easier because it´s very hard for me to draw with the mouse. The problem is that there are a lot of them and a very wide price range. I do not know anyone who as a graphic tablet, so I do not know what features are important to look for when deciding. I don´t want to spend money on one and then have to turn around and buy another one because the first one does´t cut it. I was hoping that I could get some feedback from people here that use them to help me make a good choice before buying. Thank you an advance, Vicbomlen.

You should go with a wacom bamboo tablet

this one is 70$ dollars which comes with the pen no touch feature

this one is 100 dollars but has a touch feature kinda pointless tho

Actually, I bought a Wacom that was 100 euros over what I could afford, and it was well worth it.
I don't recommend it when you have a shitload of bills though...That gets you in the shitter.

Intuos > Bamboo . IMO.

I worked with both. Same size..And the pen on the intuos, and the way the tablet is designed is much more comfortable.
I really feel bad about being the bamboo one.

Oh well at least the tablet texture feels more like paper...Thats kinda cool.
