Other Thoughts of this graphics tablet?

This would be my first one.
If you already have a graphics tablet, is this worth getting?

 

The splash is great for a first tablet, though the active area is a tad tiny you won't really find a better option for the price range.

Next "tier" of art tablets would run you a couple hundred at least.

 

Thanks,

 

As long as it's wacom, i'd recommend it :P

I never had a Bamboo before, but so far, I haven't heard of any major complaints from my Bamboo-wielding friends.

I myself use a Wacom Intuos4 [Large]. I've had my tablet for 4 years now. So far, it has done nothing but good.
The only drawback [so far] is that it eats pen nibs like crazy. That would require a bit of managing, as you don't want your nibs to be eaten too short, else you're going to have a hard time trying to replace it.
However, the drawback can easily be fixed though. All you need is transparency paper that is used in overhead projectors and such. It's rather cheap, and easy to find in stores. Placing them on top of the tablet's workspace would make every pen nib last more than a year.
I'd recommend this, if you have the money, but yes, Bamboo is good too. If you ever feel the need to upgrade, Intuos4 would be a good choice. Though you can also look at the Intuos5 or the Cintiq

 

Thanks

 

Would the transparency-paper not ruin the pressure sensitivity though?

 

I can't really say it doesn't ruin the sensitivity, since I can't really prove so, but I can say that I see/feel no problems at all in pressure.

 

I work 10 + hours a day on my XP-Pen Artist22E graphics tablet http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M9EURM1 . I've been using graphics tablets for over 8 years. I absolutely need one because i paint/draw for a living and these days people need things done fast soo digital is the way to go.

I've been using XP-Pen tablets for all this time. I wouldnt recommend ANY other brand but wacom for graphics tablets. They are the best. I currently use a Medium size XP-Pen Artist22E .

For just scribbling notes and doing minor photo touch ups I would recommend either a Small XP-Pen Star05 ( which cost about 70$ Canadian) more or less.
