Default Re: Graphics Tablet reccomendations

Oreo, if you are interested in getting a deal, see if any of your computer shops are trying to see off old stock of the intuos3.
The intuos 4 with really no warning to any one last month, and you might have some shops have reduced the price on the intuos3.


Another word of warning about the Wacom Tablets is unless you are doing CAD, do not bother with the large tablets. Eg. intuos3 12x12, intuos3 12x19.
I forget the reason why, but I have been told by Wacom themselves that those too sizes are no suitable for people that doing photoshop.

The other word of warning when it comes down to Wacom. Buy the product locally. In a effort to reduce parralle importing, Wacom will only honor warranties for products that were imported via offical channels. So if you find some thing cheap on eBay USA, don't be a surpised if Wacom tells you to take your product back to Wacom USA as appose to their own local office.
