Hi everyone, I have a guestion for any drawers out there. I'm getting a Wacom art tablet, but I'm considering other choices. Does anyone recremend tablets that are cheap, yet are still moderately nice?

Thanks.

Get what you need not want as they say in buying stuff

The Wacoms are definitely the good ones - I can tell you both from my personal experience, and from my own research on the net when I was shopping around for one myself.

The basic models are the Graphire series - I use a Graphire3 4x5 model, and I love it.

My first tablet was an Acecad Flair, which worked very well - until I upgraded my computer, and couldn't find any way to get it to work under Windows XP. *sigh* So, I shopped around, and found my Graphire, and I've never looked back.

Hope this helps.

I use a Wacom Graphire 3 tablet and it work fine for me, bought it for about $100 and it included two art programs (Corel Painter Essentials 2 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2).

My preciousssss.

Thanks a bunch, everyone! I'm definately Wacom 3, then. I hope to get some of my artwork redone with it. It should be coming in this week.

Ok guys...for Christmas...

SOMEONE GET ME A TABLET!!! *crywhimperwhine*

ok, at the risk of necromancing the thread two days late, You can get cheap tablet off of amazon, I only use for hair detail and touch up and even spending $50 is still a lot of money for nothing, everything else can be done with a mouse and software, Sometimes more effectively. Tablets are good for touch ups, or flash though so it depends on what you need.

He's not used to seeing such an old post, not realizing that this is the only place that can happen, so his mind assumes it would have to have existed only in 2007 (and beyond)


or something like that. Get back to me when I have my brain with me.

Who knows when that'll be?!

I figured, which was why I merely commented, rather than castigation and locking of the thread...

Well technically that's what it's here for anyways, right? For referrence.
And except for the fact that this advice wont help the original poster anymore (assuming they managed to get a tablet. If they didn't, chances are they didn't want one that badly to begin with). However, new people requiring this information could find it valuable.


Just some thoughts.
