Graphics Tablet
I'm thinking of getting a graphics tablet in the near future and thought I would gather some opinions.
What tablets would you guys recommend, maybe other than the Wacomms as they seem a bit pricey (justified must say but I think a A5 intuos is slightly out of my price range)
Or would saving the extra money be justified?
I mainly will be using it for maya, Z brush and photoshop for creating textures and some concept art.
So any recommendations would be appreciated.
Cheers

I haven't used anything but Wacom - so can't help with critique of other pen tools. At work I'm using an A3 unit (which would be out of almost everyones price range - if bought new!!). At home I've been using a B5 (tiny) unit for many years and find it excellent. The pressure response is the big benifit when compared to using a mouse.
Hope you find something suitable....

u wont use it in maya but it helps a lot in the other apps
although the mouse they give u is usless
i have a wacom intous A5 (half A4)
its a nice size to work with
the A4 is way too pricy and it is huge as there is a lot of redundant space around it.
i would say go with an A5 unless ur seriously into drawing in ps ect.
i would say they r woh there money as they last ages and the nips in the pen are replaceable/interchangable
think of it more of an investment
Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here
