Wacom tablet advice,would love some help :)

Would love to say this first: If this topic is not for those forums mods please move it.If i can't post this or something-delete as well ^^

So,since quite alot time I've been thinking to get myself drawing digitaly and my mouse drawing is fail i decided to look for tablet.I've been digging in alot time for tablet for my needs (Should have pen,pen eraser and USB...I think this is all i would generaly need and of course i should be able to draw and paint on it lol)It shouldn't be more than 100€ (wich is around 140$). I've find a few that sound good but i can't really decide wich is the best.
That's why i would love some advice from someone using such tablet . I can say the models of the ones i was looking at if needed ,but as for now i need General advices.
Thanks for any advices <3
Please don't spam as well.

Please remember that searching the forum before posting a new thread is always a good idea, though if you've already looked then there's no problem in making a thread specifically for your needs. Every once in a while someone asks about what tablet they should buy. Maybe these threads will help you:

Thank you for the links they did help abit but I need to know more : c
Also somewhere I've read (for some tablet,I don't remember the name of)that it can be used only for photo editing? I think it was Wacom capture. .is it true or those kinds of tablets are always for drawing as Well?
My previous question for good tablet for hobbist still stays

oh hey, i actually have a wacom capture! i use it for drawing, ive never actually used it for photo editing but im sure you could do that too. its actually pretty poor quality and i dont like it. ive had it for a little over a year and even a couple months after i got it the wire came loose, and turns the tablet off whenever i even slightly adjust my position. the tablet itself feels cheap and weak, and i really just wouldnt recommend it.

a good beginners tablet i would recommend is the intuos. theyre high quality, easy to use and i personally liked them more than any tablet ive had since. if you take care of it itll last you quite a long time. i had the intuos4 small, but there are different versions available such as the intuos3 and intuos5 (older and newer models.)

Oh thanks ^-^ very much! You are the first person telling me something bad about the capture...the intuos you've sent me link to does not have eraser o.o wich I don't know if its this bad or not but I prefer eraser plus the warranty is only available in America

I just got my digital drawing tablet a few days ago XD Mine is an intuos, but I have an eraser on the other end of the pen... Let me check the box...-

-Back. So mine is called: Wacom intuos creative pen and touch tablet (CTH480). It would be best if you searched it up in Google yourself, but I managed to whip up a little bit of information:

http://www.wacom.com/en/us/creative/intuos-s
https://store.wacom.com/us/en/product/CTH480/

Sorry if it is not what you are looking for, I am still fairly new myself :/
I have anxiety so if I don't respond right away or something I don't mean to be rude!

Personally I'd recommend a beginner on something like a Bamboo Pen, since they're more on the cheaper side price wise, quality wise they're very good. That's what I started with, and while it took a little time to get used to it, I enjoyed using it, others though may not get the same feeling, so it's better to start on something that's not as expensive in case you decide that drawing on it isn't for you. Although that's my personal opinion. I later saved up and upgraded to my intuos pro after several years with my bamboo pen, plus my field of study requires me to have a high quality tablet to work with as well as the large size because the one I was working with was too small when you draw for several hours a day. So once you get the feel and you know you'll be using it often, then decide to invest in a higher end tablet.
