Graphic Tablets Thread - Global Union of Arts

Hey all
I'm looking to get a graphic tablet.
Anyone got any ideas on the cheapest, most reliable one I can get?
It's been recommended that I get a Wacom.
Note: I live in the UK.

Reference: Wacom.eu

I'm using a wacom intuos3 A5 wide and I'm super happy with it. I even dropped it a few times and it didn't take any damage. The cheapest version of the wacom is the Bamboo, I think. At least, I know a couple of starters who have got the Bamboo and are really happy with it. I think you can go for any wacom you'd like, because their tablets are really high quality.
Even if there are some other tablets, I would go for the wacom, as you can be sure to have some high quality work.

Well, I've got a Trust tablet. It's not very large but quite cheap

I use this one at college, which is actually pretty good

I've head that the Bamboo's are terrible though :/
Anyway, I was only asking to see if there were any more decent tablets I could find.
Seems like Wacom's one of the best out there then
All I need to do now is save my pennies

Looks exactly like mine, but the format is a little different. Seems to be the a5

A friend of mine wants to get one, but i think my skills are better with a mouse than with a graphic tablet ^^

I don't use my tablet as often either. Most of my current paintings are 90-100% mouse, but in those other cases I really love it.
