Anyone have one of these ?
I found the small Bamboo tablet on Amazon for $65 . I'm not sure if thats good or not . I've never used a tablet but have wanted to try one for a very long while . I would be using it for graphic work .
What would you suggest starting out without spending an arm and a leg ?

I am a digital artist myself and I think it's all about size. YOu don't want to get anything to small you're going to be running into the edge a lot when drawing lines and coloring it will be frustrating. What size is the one for 65? I use a 12 X 19 I spent alot. you might want at least 9 x 12 with good pressure sensitivity.

The one I found is really small Active Area = 5.8 (W) x 3.7 (D) (21 square inches) .

I thought it would be ok to just try before spending lots of money . I guess maybe it could just end up being a waste if its to small to do anything with .

Resolution on the bamboo series is much lower than their "flagship" line. If you are a serious graphic artist, I'd avoid bamboo...
