Drawing Tablet Help

[Swiller2]

So I need a new tablet. I have had a Wacom one for ages, and it's seen better days. It has held up good considering the abuse I have given it lol. I know a fair few of my fellow Tifers have expierience and knowledge of tablets, and I seek your sage advice. I'm looking to buy a new tab, any suggestions?

 

I mainly use just for recreation, so don't need anything pro. But, I know from past purchases I don't want a base model either. Wacom is the only brand I have ever had so I have no clue when it comes to other brands etc. Money really isn't an issue, I would just like a durable tab that is functional and comfortable to use.

 

I would love any input from any tab users, and the more specific the better!

 

Thanks in advance :)

Wacom is really the best brand - I wouldn't recommend anything else :) I have a Wacom Intuos 4 and it's fantastic, but it's something like $300 and more of a professional tablet. I would recommend buying a Wacom Bamboo. It is the best for recreational use and is great quality :)

Thanks for suggestion! I really like the looks/capabilities of the Intuos 4, I'm diggin' all the function buttons on the side :) May I ask, do you use the med or a bigger size?

 

Edit: Also, do you use the standard pen, or are the other pens worth the money?

I have a medium tablet. I think it's the perfect size :) I also use the pen that came along with my tablet. It works great and I've never had any problems with it!

Thanks again for all the info, I'm ordering my Intuos4 right now! It is my reward for paying off my car lol.

 

Thanks :)

I am also looking at tablets as I am interested in starting RSDV's butI don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I was looking at: "Trust Flex Ulta Thin Design 6 x 4.6 inch Tablet with Ergonomic Wireless Pen" on amazon, it's a good price (was £15 but rose to £20 overnight) and mostly the reviews are very good but I was just looking for a second opinion.

Thanks. :smile:
