Hey guys,

Can someone recommend me a good graphics tablet? Its for someone who will be off to uni to do a childrens illustration course and i thought it would be a nice present to go along with a copy of Photoshop :)

I have no experience with them at all (Ive not even used one) but i assume they are a very valuable tool for anyone doing digital art?

Any advice or recommendations?

Many thanks
 
Wow, thankyou for your detailed reply.

She will have the below requirements (Well im guessing, its a surprise present!)

Needs to work on Windows 7
Easy to setup/use
Not too big (A5 will be perfect)

I have a budget of about £50 but i can easily stretch to £100 if needed, im a firm believer in best bang for buck so if a £100 model is well worth the extra i dont mind paying it.

She wont be leaving for uni until October this year but i will be giving it to her a few months before so she can get used to it.

Regarding the Wacom Intuos 4 how much did you pay for yours?

Many thanks again
 
Thanks for the huge amount of feedback in this thread. Went for the Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch after looking at prices and specs, i heard the Touch function isnt all that but features a eraser on the pen which i feel is a must.

Hopefully she'll like it! :D
 
When using the pen it overrides any touching of the pad, ive seen many a video demonstrating it. Seems very good to me.
