Is the Bamboo Pen and Touch a good investment?

If you are looking for a tablet to use for many years, go with the Bamboo Fun. It has the multi-touch feature and a larger Pen area (8.5" x 5.4" - about the size of a half a sheet of paper) and comes with Photoshop Elements 7.0 Win/6.0 Mac, Corel Painter Essentials 4.0, Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 WE3. It is $199 retail, but Amazon is selling it for $167.20 - shop around for a good deal.

The Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch has a smaller pen area (5.8" x 3.6" - about the size of a note card) and does not include Painter Essentials. The pen offers more precision and control when creating artwork. With the pressure-sensitive pen, the harder you press, the bigger your brush URL1 makes your brush strokes look more realistic.

The tablet will allow you to touch up and edit photos with greater control. You can also digitally write on your photos. I have owned two Wacom Intuos tablets over the past eight years.

Both still work very well with my Mac Pro using OS 10.5.8 and Photoshop CS3. Wacom keeps their drivers up-to-date. The precision and control I get from a Wacom tablet is superior to any mouse.

My friend, Felicia Cano, does most of her artwork with a Wacom tablet using Painter and Photoshop - http://feliciacano.blogspot.com/Macworld did a review of both tablets back in November 2009 and they recommend the Bamboo Fun - http://www.macworld.com/article/143898/2009/11/wacomrev.htmlWacom video of the Bamboo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UigPWJT_lFkBamboo Video review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZPLSlZ8fHc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
