Is the Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet any good for digital painting?

i really enjoy digital painting, and a mouse is somewhat limiting when it comes to using the digital media. i really want to get some kind of tablet, probably from wacom, as they are a very reputable brand.


i need to get one of the cheaper ones, as i dont have alot of money to spend on this, around 拢100


i have looked at the wacom bamboo range, and i like the look of the wacom bamboo pen tablet, and the wacom bamboo pen and touch, although im leaning towards just the pen and touch one, as its not that much more expensive.


so is it any good for digital painting? i know its quite small, thats why i was wondering. and also, i work on a windows XP professional version 5.1


thanks in advanced for any answers :)Is the Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet any good for digital painting?
Any graphic tablet will work fine for any sort of work that requires detail that you can accomplish on a regular pen or brush instead of the mouse.Is the Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet any good for digital painting?
Lol, that's the purpose of a tablet, for graphic arts and such. It makes live a lot easier than a mouse.
