#Wacom Tablet, really good! (2009-06-15) I like others was shooting in the dark as they say, I was recommended by an artist that a Tablet was the way to go for my art and design work in photoshop etc, I touch up photos and a little free hand drawing in photoshop and the wacom tablet is brilliant. It is small enough to never get in the way, it is so easy to use and the results are great for me. This as I say is my first one, if I upgrade I will probably buy Wacom again. The delivery was next day even though it said it would be 4 days, so it was a nice surprise when it turned up so quick...

#Great Tablet for Beginners or Pros (2009-06-08) Wacom have finally made a tablet that works just as well as the more expensive models but at a great price point. Through work and college, I have tried several more expensive tablets and I have to say that this Wacom cheapy is as good as any of them. It s VERY responsive and smooth. Don t let the small size of the Wacom Bamboo put you off either. I actually prefer it to all of the much bigger and more expensive ones I ve used. If you re the sort of person that uses a fairly fast mouse speed then you probably will too. The large and...

#Good value (2009-06-07) I bought this pen and tablet because the one i had didn t work on vista. This does work on vista,and is a very good price. You can program the pen to do lots of different things ( i haven t done this yet ). So far i have used it straight from the box as it comes so to speak. I am using it to change photos in Painshop Pro Photo 2. ,and it is working well. I have also used it to play bejeweld game,and it helped me to get a higher score !For the price, just using it without programing it , i think it is worth the money. The pen is comfy to use,the tablet nice and n...

#Brilliant, Just Brilliant! (2009-06-04) I have received my tablet today, eagerly but patiently installed the drivers, went through the tutorials (which take about 5 mins) then I was off!Initially I was all over the place clicking everything and dragging stuff. 3 hours later, I unplug the USB cord and ditch the wireless mouse which now is housed in the bottom draw of my desk! I feel totally competent using the Wacom Tablet, for everything. I am a web/graphic designer and music producer, and I use allot of different professional packages, not only has it made them easier to use, I foun...

#tablets vs. mouses (2009-06-01) Setup slightly indirect but worked my way through it. Once i got going and started using the Bamboo, after a short time became intuitive. May never use a mouse again ( at home).

#Extremely responsive (2009-07-02) A brilliant product for artists using 3D animation programs and photo editing software as it is pressure sensitive and allows you to have a much higher level of control which can never be achieved with just a mouse. Also I think it s reasonably priced for what you are getting. As far as normal use as a mouse outside of animation and photo editing software is concerned, I think that a mouse is probably easier to use but this is not an issue as you can just swap between your mouse and your tablet easily. Highly recommended for users of creative/ artis...

#Pleasantly Surprising (2009-05-29) I was very surprised by this Tablet. . . OK I have never used one before but the general rule when buying hardware is that you get what you pay for. So when I spent less than 50 pounds on this I had only got novelty expectations. I am really pleased to say I was totally wrong! I work as a professional designer and have been using this tablet to work in photoshop on projects with great success. It just allows that tiny bit more in the way of control when selecting and a massive amount more when retouching or drawing. What surprised me even more w...

#A godsend! (2009-05-22) I am a proofreader and I bought this tablet because I had a large PDF document to edit and return to a very tight deadline. It wasn t too expensive so I thought it would do for the one use and if it was rubbish I d have learned a lesson for not too much money. But it has revolutionised my proofreading, and I ve even taken to drawing comics with it! I ve recommended it to other professional proofreaders and anyone else who will listen! The sensitivity is just right, the buttons on the pen make it at least as good as a mouse for general use, it s light and p...

#Not for professionals but a perfect introduction (2009-05-11) The biggest problem with the Bamboo is that you realise just how great a tablet, and in turn a tablet that s better than the Bamboo, is. I ve only bought this one so far so don t know about other brands comparison wise but the sensitivity is absolutely mind blowing. It comes with art rage which is cool for showing off the tablet but I mostly use PS and the fact that I can still make great use of the sensitivity there is testament to the Bamboo. The worst thing after getting it is realising just how amazing it must be to ...

#With practice can become faster than using your regular mouse.... (2009-04-17) I bought this pen to do digital art, and the free software ArtRage that comes with it is very impressive and VERY easy to learn. It performs pressure sensitive brush strokes and recreates many mediums accurately. Character recognition software for scribbling notes is also very accurate. It reads my appalling hand writing fine (90% of the time) and I can scribble directly into MS Word or even Yahoo Messenger. The pen itself takes a little getting used to, I kept wanting to lift the pen and drag the mouse...

#Great first tablet (2009-06-23) I ve started to do a lot of photo retouching with a lot of cutting and pasting specific areas of photos to layers and all that and the mouse was proving just a bit cumbersome so I started looking at tablets. After many hours of researching, deliberating and changing my mind I finally plumped for the Bamboo Fun Small. A couple of things concerned me about this decision. Firstly would an A6 sized work area be big enough or should I go for something like the Trust TB-7300 at A4 size and secondly, did I need to spend the extra money over the plain Bamboo...

#Perfect For Begginers (2009-06-19) This is the first graphics tablet I ve ever owned and I bought it mainly to colour in sketches which I ve made on paper and then scanned into the computer. It does this very well. When used with any image creation/manipulation software, creating art is made very simple with the pen and tablet. For those of you wondering like I was, when drawing with the bamboo fun, hovering over the surface with the pen moves the mouse. It s only when you press on the surface that it begins to draw, much like the real thing, only this has the added benefit of an u...

#Pen for artists (2009-06-15) The product came in an amazing pack with softwares, its quite triky at times to use. . . but needs some time to handle it. I did have some issues of delay in action by the pen,Although one critique is that one u lift the pen off the base its difficult to get back to the exact position as it keeps moving around. . . Might need some practice

#bamboo fun (2009-05-31) this is a really fun tablet, highly recommended. It S great and its make me faster than ever. I can show more attention to the details of my graphics as well. thanks to wacom and amazon:))

#Bye Bye track pad and mouse (well nearly)! (2009-05-28) Wacom Bamboo Fun Small Graphics TabletJust got this less than a week ago and it is great. I use a mac and it was up and running before the software was installed. Speaking of software it came bundled with Photoshop Elements 6 (most recent Mac version), I had been thinking of buying this separately but now I have Elements and a awesome graphics tablet!

#Excellent and fun (2009-06-11) Nice and easy to install, with minimum of fuss. ArtRage is fun, but the photoelements are more to my liking. Due to lack of time lately, I still have to get to use it, but what I have done so far, has been good fun. A decent piece of kit for reasonable money.

#Bamboo Fun & Serious (2009-03-03) I ve been using the Bamboo now for just over 2 weeks. I m a professional 3D artist, where I have an Intuos 2 on my desk, and some Intuos 3s of varying sizes are also around. I bought this pen tablet to replace my failing Aiptek Slim Tablet 600u. It is a huge upgrade from that tablet, and I personally prefer it to the Intuos range for 2 main reasons:1. The Bamboo tablets look much nicer, they re less bulky and have 4 glossy, easy to reach function buttons and a touch sensitive pad for scrolling and zooming. 2. This is something that really bothers m...

#Excellent tablet (2009-02-22) Does its job as described, the software was very easy to install and the pen feels good in hand. Quick response when working on Photoshop, can t fault it so far. Also I liked the fact the tablet looks so solid which gives me an extra assurance it will serve me forever. And I guess the word fun stands for confirming how much fun you will have no matter how sophisticated your task is to be done on this tablet, which is truely professional.

#Wacom Bamboo ...fun says it all (2009-02-12) I spend HOURS having fun with this! When you install the tablet drivers, Microsoft Office 2007 automatically constitutes an ink tools tab, with various pen options -- including ballpoint/felt/highlighter/eraser with choice of colour/weight. I think the actual tablet is beautifully, simply, and sturdily designed. The pen comes with its own little holder, which prevents de-sensitizing the nib. Works with all applications. Photoshop 4 has yet to be fine-tuned, but I use it with perfect ease with Photoshop 2/3. When you use the tablet pen i...

#Brilliant bamboo tablet (2009-02-04) Great for photo editing, drawing, video editing, can be used for navigating windows and adding toon drawings to your favourite photos. It also comes with great graphics software, which is simple to use and also includes full tutorial. Good value for money and fully featured.

#3 USB s (2009-06-30) Over all good for general use ( I ve been hammering it). Only 3 USB port which can be a bit restricting, especally if you are using usb mouse and keyboard.
