Drawing Tablet Recommendation?

[Arsudar]

Something for change after long hours of working on doing marketing :). I'm looking for a suitable drawing tablet (about 150$ or less) for my hobby but I dunno which one to get. Has anyone used or bought drawing tablet before?

I don't know of anything in that price rage. What kind of drawing? Just doodling? Or do you need to also run software like Photoshop, or some other design software?

I have the Wacom Bamboo CTL-470. I really don't draw too much with it, but I do some doodles for marketing. Works great.

Many friends of mine also recommend Wacom, overall they told me it works good.

Yeah I plan to use with Photoshop, for card drawing purpose.

So then wouldn't you need something Android, Apple or Windows to be able to run that software? Are you looking for a stand alone or a peripheral that plugs into a computer? if Peripheral, I have seen the Wacom models discussed on Tech shows and such as being pretty good.

I have been using Wacom Bamboo for a couple years now and never had any issues. Last year I got the new smallest one and I do crazy drawings with it. Once you get a hang of it, you no longer use a mouse. I think it was 75$ CAD

We are planning on getting the Wacom Cintiq. Its the best of the best. But it starts at $999. Now you have the Ipad available with drawing tablet features.

Hmm... I haven't think clearly about it but probably Peripheral, maybe I should check out Wacom's.

For a product with that price, seems legit.
