highly recommended

Watch what you live near.

I bought the Bamboo Fun Medium to do basic photo touch ups. The pen was very sensitive, and the size was easy to hold in one hand and draw with the other. But my major complaint was that I can not use it at home. I live near a AM radio tower, and the Tablet freaks out because of the radio interference. The screen cursor jumps all over and can not be controlled by the pen. I can use the tablet at work, on the same laptop I would use at home. When I put the tablet in a metal box, (Faraday Cage), it works fine. But I can't turn my office into a full size Faraday cage. I would recommend the tablet, but watch out for the interference.

Not just Fun!

I bought this as a replacement for an Intuos 2 that went off to college with my son. It is every bit as good for my purposes as the '2 (Photoshop). I believe Intuos gave it "silly" names to discourage professional/prosumer users from buying it, thus protecting their high-end line. The feel is great, I really don't notice a big difference from the '2 except I like the added "zoom pad" and function keys. Its also thinner than the '2 which is good.

A real pleasure

It's wonderful. I don't regret what it cost me, there's a huge difference with my previous tablet (a Trust TB 4200). The size is perfect, the device highly sensitive, and they did a great job on textures. I can't be happier.
I really recommend it to beginners looking for a tablet. It's really easy to use. Practically just plug and play! And the softwares included are a bonus.

No Comparison

Really. I have nothing to compare it to, as this is my first tablet. I even thought Wacom was a discount brand!

Anyway, it works well. Easy install, a rather clumsy interface, learning to use all of it's features was a real pain, but once that is done you're rolling. And the thing feels solid. I'm not going to wipe my feet on it, but it feels like I could. My cat does sleep on it though... usually when I need to use it. Cats.

I did do one thing wrong, though. When I wrote on it, I was setting it on my desk at an angle to write, same as paper. Then I read in these reviews that I can't do that, the tablet must be square with the desktop to write. Mine must be defective, as it works fine at an angle. I hope Wacom has a good warranty.

One last note: It comes with three spare pen nibs, which most people like me will lose before they're needed. BUT... The pen holder screws apart like a baby-food jar, you can keep the nibs in there. And it won't open by accident, not even under the worst cat-batting. Trust me, it has been field tested. You might lose the holder, but that's the only way you'll lose your nibs.

I even labeled mine "nibs inside"... although that sounds a little disturbing.

Great for Graphics Design department!

I just ordered two of these for our Graphics artists and wow! These things are amazing and give so much more control than a regular mouse. The things you can do are endless! A great, great product!

Not that it makes a big difference but I was wondering why it came with Elements 5.0 instead of 6.0. (I also ordered the blue one and it came with 6.0.)

Now there's a simple, easy, and more natural way to bring your big ideas to life. Use Bamboo to transform your thoughts into powerful digital communications. Touch the pen tip to the tablet to handwrite notes, mark up digital documents, make quick sketches, and sign your name.Combine Bamboo with Mac Inkwell or Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007 to handwrite email, enter text by hand anywhere typed text is accepted, navigate your desktop with a flick of the pen, and more.Bamboo works with any software. In fact, many software applications have special features and tools that are designed to be used with a pen.
