Graphics tablet suggestions
It's that time of year when I'm writing my list for Santa. I'm really enjoying using rotring pens to ink my work, but I'm thinking of getting a tablet for illustration. Does anybody have any favourites in a medium price range please? Is it worth getting one or will it end up gathering dust?

Cool thanks that looks good for now. In my last job my boss took me out to the mac store and got a top of the range one as a kind of bonus, then I got made redundant before I'd got a chance to use it properly.. gutted as I obviously had to leave it there haha!

This is looking to be a good deal right now, although it has so many bidders you don't know what will happen. I have this exact tablet, although it's black, and it works just great with both my mac and old pc. Only thing is, it's quite small, but that works great for me as I don't have much space (or use it all that much)... but it depends. If you're asking santa you might want to get a shiny new bamboo or an intuos 4. But if you're just looking to experiment, picking something like this up off trademe is probably not a bad idea, the resale value is always pretty good if you don't end up using it ;)



To put it in perspective, I bought my Graphire 4 new and it was about $120 oh... what, 2-3 years ago? And I think I got it from PC World. Or somewhere like that.

Brilliant thanks for the advice, I think Trademe is the way forward for this one!
