Is the Wacom Bamboo Fun any good for graphics?

Originally I was going to get the Wacom Intuos3 but the price in Australia is significantly more than buying it in US.


It's USD$329.95 on the US website and it's AUD$569 on the Australian website...when it should be around AUD$375 after conversion...





So anyway the one I'm thinking of now is the Bamboo Fun.


It only has 512 pressure levels of pressure sensitivity and has less resolution.


Are these two factors really big?


Apparently 512 pressure points isn't as fluid as the 1024 and you can tell because sometimes it "jumps"...is this true or is it a marketing ploy?








Bamboo Fun for graphics...yes or no?





If not, does anyone know of a good and cheaper alternative to the Intuos?








Thanks in advance ^__^

If you can find a local store that sells them, go in and ask for a demo. Tell them what program you want to use it with and they will tell you what features work with the tablet. Then, decide if it's worth the price.





We just can't answer your usability question here, because "pressure sensitivity and resolution" issues can only be evaluated "hands-on" by you.





If you can't find a local store, call Wacom directly.
