I was wondering what's a good tablet that I may get or one that is bang for the buck? I was thinking about getting a Wacom's Intuos. They are expensive, but I heard they are very good. I was told to get a Wacom Bamboo but then they said it was more of business type stuff rather than photoshoping. So may I get some opinions and suggestions on any tablets that works pretty well :3? Thanks !

All of Wacom's tablets are fantastic. I started off with a Bamboo Fun tablet, which I used for about two years (had a few problems with it) and I just bought an Intuos4 a couple days ago. It's incredible and I'm so happy with it. I'd recommend getting an Intuos, it'll be the only tablet you'll ever have to buy, everything about it is simply perfect- it's design is sleek and unlike the Bamboo Fun it's black, so you can't see dirty hand prints and smudge marks on it; it comes with multiple interchangeable nibs that fit into a compartment in the pen holder (every time I take out a nib I'm reminded of the guy from Jurassic Park who was stealing the dinosaur embryos lolol) and there are buttons on the tablet that can be used as shortcuts when you're drawing. The pen is pretty comfortable too.

I use the bamboo fun pen & touch. It's pretty nice, but has a few tweaks here and there. It also has buttons on the tablet and comes with multiple nibs, but sadly, no pen holder. ):

As a first I suggest everyone a bamboo. It's cheap and it's decent for people who have no idea about tablets anyways.

I only have a Bamboo fun... which is pretty old and small. But it's still up and running and awesome since I can take it to school and use it there. When I go to a post-secondary school or/and get a job, I might save up for a Cintio one~~ Yummmy

I have a Wacom Graphire 4 or 5... it's not very expensive and it does what you need it to. No complaints about it at all... and only about 70-100 dollars.
