Okay so I don't plan to use the tablet every day and on everything. Honestly I don't yet do that much coloring, but I know if I got the tablet it would be much easier to color hair and certain details. I decided because of the price, and because I work better with my actual keyboard shortcuts and not have to adjust myself to another screen, that I would just get the bamboo tablet for less than $100. they seem to have regular bamboos on ebay for less than $50 sometimes but here's my dilema. Should I get the Bamboo FUN over the regular bamboo? Is the only difference the addition of the extra mouse and the instruction cdrom? The people at the store didn't let me open and see it lol...

All I want to do is color hair more precisely and make tiny details. It is damn near impossible to have the patience to do everything with a mouse :[ So my question is with the small amount of work I plan to do should I buy the cheaper basic bamboo or the bamboo fun? is there a REAL big difference between the two other than accessories?

I have Bamboo One (the tiny one :)) and it doesn't work under Vista (it does under XP), drivers are not compatible and there's nothing I can do about it. God knows I tried.

However, people don't seem to have the same problems with Bamboo Fun (or at least if they do they can be dealt with), so I guess I'd get that one. But check them out anyway, I'm definitely not a tablet expert

I have Vista and I'm not having a problem so far.

The Bamboo has pressure just not as much as the Intuos 3 or 4 tablets.


I use the bamboo as of right now it works well enough for a beginner and I like it so far.
