Wacom Bamboo - good for beginners?

I’m now quite good in zbrush(it still doesn’t look real, but nevertheless, it isn’t bad :wink: ) and I thought about buying a tablet to be more precise in sculpting, texturing, and so on(else, I would have bought a Cintiq, which seems to be really amazing). I’m having my final year at school and I don’t have really much money, so I looked for something under 100€. I found the Wacom Bamboo, which looks really nice. Nevertheless, I’m unsure if it would be the right for me, since it seems a little bit small and I don’t know on what things I have to look if I buy a tablet. So, is this a good choice for someone, who wants to buy his first tablet? How good is it to use in Photoshop or Zbrush?

I prefer A5 on intuos series aswell ,so that wasn’t a issue for me, but I got a bamboo at work, to play around in Z during lunchtimes and i have an intuos3 at home. I still like the intuos3 a lot better. I notice the difference in pressure sensitivity and also something about the difference in surface on both, the bamboo feel quite harsh to me.

I suppose if you get used to intuos you won’t feel as comfortable on bamboo. I used bamboo medium (A5) as a beginner and still loving using it. You’ll get used to the scale, you’ll perceive your monitor as the working area and not the A5 dimension of the tablet since you don’t have to look at it :slight_smile:
