Wacom Tablets & Pens

Lilly · 2007-11-22T16:54:12+0000

Does anyone have one of these: Wacom Intuos 3 A5 Tablet Pen + Mouse £200+ or Wacom Bamboo Fun A5 Tablet £100 I am trying to find out if it is advantagous to get the Intous or not, comparing them I can only see the main difference being twice as many sensitive pressure levels than the Bamboo. I really want to make sure I don't end up regretting the extra money spent, not having used one before would all those extra levels be very useful for making selections, dodging, burning, tinting etc? Comments suggestions gratefully received, thanks Lilly

I have one of these too - the same model & size.

I love it for working on images. It works brilliantly in the Gimp on any recent Linux system. Just take it out of the box, plug it in and go. No messing about with drivers.

And you get a cordless mouse that doesn't need batteries in the package.

I'm probably going to get another one soon, the A6 for use with my laptop.
