My Graphire4 is good but i don't think its giving my the pen sensitivity i need. I have to try very hard to get "thiner lines easier" lol. Also its not reading all my pen strokes (the very fast and very slow). Plus a friend of mine told me this happened to him and it just stop working.

So I'm asking you guys, I've got 200 plus tax and S&H just for the wacom. I've seen the Wacom bamboo fun and the craft, which one of these shoud i get? Or is there some thing better?

I ask because i can't find any diffance between them.

You can get a Wacom Intuos 4 for $232 at Walmart with free shipping. It's a nicer unit than the Bamboo.

I do the enterphase that comes with it but the bamboos come with Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 7.0 Win/6.0 Mac, Corel® Painter™ Essentials 4.0, Nik® Color Efex Pro™ 3.0 WE3.

I would strongly suggest waiting until you can afford the Intuous 4, I used the Bamboo for a year before buying the Intuous 4 and the difference is amazing, it is just so much better. Your Wacom priveleges that come with registration offer you a number of choices in free software, Photoshop Elements 7 and Corel Painter Essentials are just two of your choices.

This Intuous 4 looks cool, i like the tilt capability that's sounds very cool. On their other hand its wireless which sounds good at first but recharging will get very tedious. But that enterphase is just TO cool to pass up on these ituous. I guess waiting one more month will not be that bad. Thank you for your help General Hawkeye and Claudia P.




P.S. lol sorry Hawkeye, the joke was two easy but now i know and knowing is half the battle.




P.P.S. Thats the last one.

It's not wireless, it's powered by a USB port. There are no batteries used in Wacom tablets.

The Intuos 4 is wireless, at less the two web sites i've seen have said that. Nevertheless, its can be recharged bye a USB port. I'm all for it but its 300 bones, so just one more month with the graphire 4.

Check your link, there is a wireless version which is almost $400. The other Intuos 4 tablets, small, medium, large and extra large are not wireless, they are USB powered.

I am glad you said that cuz my thinking was some where else, I'm liking the small one because i'm never in the same place for long hours and the bigger will be more in the way. I guess i'm getting it now.
