So i use a Bamboo for about three month without any problems. It runs from scratch under Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04, for older versions you have to try yourself.  |

I have just joined the club a small Bamboo like the one Rolf showed. Plugged in, set up and everything works in Ubuntu 9.04. Now I have to learn how to use it.

Ok, based on the last explanations I've decided to buy a Bamboo Fun since I also want the pressure sensitive eraser. Now the only question is between A5 and A6 size. Is A6 sufficient? With A6 I can paint without moving my wrist. On A5 I would always have to move the whole arm to reach the different corners. No idea if this is comfortable. On the other hand: Do I reach the exactness I will need to paint fine details if I only had an A6 sized board?

Mine is a bit larger than a A6 paper - 17x11cm. Big enough - and not too big.

If your tablet's too big, you might also get less exact: Because you move your arm more, the motions of your fingers actually get less fluent. But to compensate for a smaller tablet or "less exact" finger motions, one can always zoom in.
It's a different thing when you want to use the tablet to actually draw pictures. I've heard that there, smaller can also be better because when you want to draw a fluent line, you can't just zoom in to be more exact, because you have to draw the whole line "out of your wrist".
I guess it's a matter of taste. If you have the chance, try out both and get the one you like better.

Well, I don't know where to test them. Nobody of my friends has one and the bigger shops I visited have only some few original packed... So I'll guess I have to try and give it back within 14 days in the worst case. But thanks for your opinions. It seems A6 is what I should get in the first place. |

When you order stuff online you have the right to give it back within 14 days without giving a reason. You just gotta pay the shipping I guess.

I have the Volito2 and it works just fine on my Fedora 10 Box. Regarding the size, i have two 20inch TFTs, which are running on 1600x1200px each, so crossing from one edge to another can be tricky =), but when do you need that?. Most of the time the user is working in a very small area of the screen, or at least is staying on the same screen where the app is running. For my purpose, the volito2 works just fine, except the missing Keys (for example to zoom oder scroll like you do it with the mouse). For beginning with tablets i can recommend it. In case the money doesnt matter, i'd go for the Intuos =)
regards,
s1gny

There are now new Bamboos on the market: Pen, Touch, Pen & Touch and FUN Small and Medium.
Does anybody own one of this new Bamboos? Is the Bamboo Pen enough for photographic work or do I need a FUN tablet?

Have a look at the Wacom homepage. The compare all those tablets over there.
If you'd ask me I wouldn't by the Pen. It has no eraser and not express keys. And I use those two things quite often.
I also wouldn't take the Touch since it has no pen.
Personally, I have the Fun and am very happy with it.

I have buy one of those new bamboo during my trip to europe, the MTE 450A.
On OpenSuse 11.1, it was a piece of cake to configure, and with a little perseverance, googling around, the pad and buttons was set to action, pen eraser sensitivity all right for production.
I was a bit disappointed at first be the small size of the drawing surface, but I get convinced using it that it is sufficient for what I need

A test (unfortunately in German) of the new touch functionality: http://www.digitalkamera.de/Meldung/Wacom_Bamboo_Fun_Pen_and_Touch_im_Praxistest/6167.aspxTo summarise this: The touch functionality is rather disturbing in image editing. It is more useful for zooming, scrolling etc. in other software. Since it is less accurate than the pen it doesn't help in editing. But unfortunately, the tablet sometimes recognizes touch when the user doesn't want it but wants to work with the pen instead. |
