Tablets

[ikkitousen]

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for tablets, starting to want to try out some designs but would seem alot easier with a tablet.

I'm currently using a 20.1inch Dell widescreen and CS3. I'm looking to spend below the £200 mark.

Thanks in advance!

Wacom A5 wide is the tool you want

you might get away with the A6 model at a push

Thanks for the recommendation mate, it hurts the prices of these tablets

Might have to try to see if there are any on ebay, if not will have to pay the full price for one.

If you want a good starter tablet the Wacom Bamboo A5 is good.
And no, you can't beat Wacom tbh.

I am just wondering, when you are using the tablet even though its A5 does that restrict the size you work to on the screen?

Have been looking for one for a while

Not really, you just zoom in or out as need be.

i've been using Wacom tablets since 1994 i started with an A5 ADB model for my Mac (used it with the Apple 16" display 840x560 or sommat res), but in 1998 i bought one for my PC, i bought the A6 model and used it happliy with a res of 1600x1200, then in 2003 i upgraded again to an Intuos2 A6, and then last year i upgraded to an A4 model..

i've found that the larger size of tablet scales better for me to the res that i run, but i happily used the A6 model without problems @ 1600x1200 res..

i painted this with the A6 model in Photoshop
