Hi Guys

i am considering getting a graphics tablet for the first time and know diddly squit about them
budget is going to be small

two options i have at present are
Wacom Bamboo One Graphics Tablet
or
Trust Slimline Design Tablet TB-5300

can any one recomend these or another one please
any help would be much appreciated
thanks

I have the wacom graphire 3 which is what became the bamboo tablet. I enjoy it a lot but I wish I could afford something better like the amazing cintiq. Based on my experience with the graphire, I recommend the Bamboo; it comes with some decent software too.

hi Shiningmonk

thanks for the advice
have taken the plunge and ordered a Bamboo One based on reviews and budgetary constraints
hope it was the right decision

should be an adequate tool to start with

when my pics sell for loads i can then always upgrade to a nice A4 tablet

^^ well i have 2 myself ^^ my old one is intuos3 drawing tablet i used it for little over a year but i didn't like that i couldn't see what i was drawing so i got myself a cintiq just a month ago ^^ they are a little pricey but i still think it was worth it ^^ i spent 1,000 on the cintiq but my intuos3 i got it for only $120 ^^ regularly it is around $600 ^^ idk i think get a intuos4 tablet ^^ its the newest and it looks cool ^^ + they are rather cheep ^^ but it depends on what size you want ^^ well good luck on your choice ^^

Hi Denkikioiji

have got used to the graphics tablet- it is good enough for my needs at present.
The Bamboo is simple enough to use.

now i am trying to master the software. Artrage is okay for fun stuff and i like the ease of rotation which makes drawing easier in a screen.
Gimp will take a lot longer for me as i don't find it an intuitive system, but when i get used to it will be much more useful.
all i need is the tme and the talent
