Gimma all those tools...  
We just had a presentation about using a wacom, a graphic tablet and damn, it looks so good. The thing is, the last tiem I tried that I failed miserably, but that was years ago and I feel that the tablets are better now thn they used to be.

But gad, sharing a tablet with the whole company seems extreme. The thing is, the tablet we have costs 500 Euros. Which is way too much.

My question is this. Have any of you experience with a graphic tablet and can recommend one that is not quite that expensive?

I suppose it depends on what you want to do with it? I'd probably stick with Wacom but maybe get one of their less expensive models, which all work quite well. From what I understand, you just get more sensitivity (for brushes and detail and etc) or size from the more expensive ones. I have one that cost $100 USD (it was the tiniest, cheapest one about three years ago, I think a graphire as mentioned above) and although sometimes I wish I had a bigger one or one that is more sensitive, it does work quite well enough for what I do in layer masks and general work, since I'm not a serious, serious artist that is drawing from scratch on it or anything like that.

Yeah, as far is I know wacoms are the most reliable you can get.

And what is most important to me, is like you said, the sensitivity and the pens and size. And I'd like to try draw little things..do handwritten typo and stuff like that.

Thanks :)
