Intuos tablets by Wacom are great and I recommend them to anyone interested in New Media or even traditional art. Wacom has three lines of digital drawing tablets, but having only used an Intuos it is the only one that I feel comfortable in reviewing. While there have been a few generational models of the Intuos tablets the current is the Intuos 4, with the resolution and pen pressure sensitivity roughly doubling every generation. The price for the small Intuos 4 (4*6) is about $200 and the next size up is about $430. With the thousands of levels of pressure sensitivity and per inch resolution on even the previous model I was able to find a perfectly adequate Intuos 3 for a little over $100 with some searching. The feel of the tablet is great write out of the box and the driver is a breeze to install. The movement of a pen is so much more natural than a mouse. Even though I just got the tablet and have only played on it for a total of about 15 minutes I was able to draw decently and navigate it in Photoshop. I have posted that sketch here.
