I am looking towards buying a drawing tablet for use with Photoshop etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions brand wise?


I found some on EBay, the brands we UC-LOGIC, Wacom, DigiPro, Hanvon,
Aquila, Graphire, GENIUS, Medion, Cool-iCam, CyberTablet, Nisis Easypen,
Art Pad, Adesso, Acecad, Aiptek, E 3 WORKS, KB Gear,

Being new to this gizmo I would like some feedback also, on what size is
best to get, 4x6, 6x8, or larger. Some have wireless mice and some are
stand alone, is one better than the other, or should just get a stand
alone tablet? What about pressure levels, is this important?


Any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated... kk



Wacom Intuos, preferably 6x8. 6x8 gives enough room for fine detail, but
isn't so big that your hand movements have to be exaggerated.
Remember...the tablet surface itself represents your screen...not merely
movement, like a mouse. If you move your pen to the upper right corner of
the tablet...you'll be pointing to the upper right corner of your screen.
With the Intuos line of Wacom tablets, you can also specify a portion of
the screen to be represented by the tablet...for times when you want even
greater motion control.

While Wacom's cheaper Graphire often comes with a mouse, the tablet itself
isn't as sensitive as the Intuos.
You'll be hard-pressed to do better than Wacom for mainstream tablets.
