|  inexpensive graphics tablet? or super high end cintiquish tablet?
What's your poison? Own more than one? I own three... from $30 wonder that it works to more than 10x that .. and still I haven't been imbued with artistic talent. I'm hoping the fourth one will bring it.

I've always meant to get round to buying one. I had one years ago and it was fun for creating vector art.
If anyone has any decent recommendations for entry-to-mid-level tablet get it posted to be rewarded with rep, and thanks. | |

I've got an Intuos 3 which I love. Can't recommend it enough. My friend has a Cintique which I've played about with. The Cintique is excellent, but functionality wise I'd say it's on a par with the Intuos. There are definite benefits to the 'drawing on the monitor' aspect but I wouldn't say it's worth paying 5 times as much for.

Definitely the Wacom Intuos 3, but the A5 is a perfectly decent size.
