Opinions on Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch?

[Jasyan]

I'm looking to buy a tablet, not too expensive, but still good quality one. Does anyone have any opinions on the Bamboo fun one? Or perhaps you could suggest a different brand?

Thats the one I've got and I think it's really good. I'd recommend one of those if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a more expensive one. Also, I think sometimes with the Bamboo Fun if you get it off of Amazon(or probably other onlne sites) you can get Photoshop free. I got Photoshop Elements 6 with mine

*nods* Me too, I got mine a few weeks ago and it came with Photoshop 7, so I don't know if it jumps up a level every year or so? I think we got ours at Best Buy. (not positive though, since it was a gift)

The Bamboo is good, I've heard. ^_^ I'm thinking of getting myself one for travel. I've heard they tend to break after a few years, but otherwise I haven't heard any negative feedback.

I'm currently using a Wacom Intuos3, which I'd suggest if you have a larger budget. It came with Photoshop elements 4 and 5, as well as Painter Essentials 2 and 3 (Photoshop Elements 5 was great; but I don't use it much anymore since I upgraded to CS4.)

I have a lenovo think pad tablet and it rocks! i only have because of my school though. They require it

I own the Bamboo Fun, and it has been fantastic.

The only problem that concerns me is that it gets scratched to fast and easily. (I do press hard though... ^^)
Other than that, it has done me wonders. =)

I've got the plain Bamboo, which is exactly the same but targeted at business instead of art. It's cheaper, too, so if you don't want to spend as much, you can get it and download GIMP for free.. that's what I did X3 Mine came from Officeworks 8D

Yeah, I am planning to get mine from Officeworks too, since there's one just down the road. I don't have a lot of downloads so it'll just be easier to get the bigger Wacom Bamboo Fun.

Thanks for the opinions everyone! I'm glad the Bamboo ones are good since I think there like the only ones you can get in Brisbane.

I think you can get bigger ones if you order them online, though. The Bamboo normal one was the only one available at my local Officeworks.
