Wacom Bamboo Capture CTH470

The Bamboo Capture is no longer the killer value it once was, thanks to the now-missing eraser, but it's still a good drawing tablet for basic sketch and collaboration work.

Accurate positioning and pressure sensitivity. Multi-touch and pen input with one device. Excellent software bundle.

No more eraser. Flimsy plastic pen.

Drawing, Multi-Touch, and Conclusions Wacom has been producing drawing surfaces for the better part of two decades, so even the inexpensive Bamboo Capture works reliably. At 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, the Bamboo Capture offers twice the...

The new Intuos3 4x6 is the tablet I've been waiting for ever since I switched from a desktop to a notebook computer. Cramming all the great benefits of the Intuos line into a much smaller form factor, it offers the power and portability any mobile...

Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch review

The bamboo tablet goes multi-touch in time for Windows 7

Plenty of sensitivity ; Drawing feels natural ; Easy to use software ; Customisable buttons

Multi-touch doesn't really work ; Small tablet area ; Only one type of nib included

WACOM BAMBOO CREATE PEN TABLET (MED) W/MULTI-TOUCH INCLUDES SOFTWARE

I bought this for my husband who does a lot of graphic design. He has wanted one for a while, and was delighted to receive this for Christmas. He thought it would be a great addition to his graphic programs.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Just the right size for big monitor

I use a 30" widescreen at 2560x1600 resolution for photo editing mostly and this is just the right size form my big moniitor. I wouldn't want to go any smaller.

Good quality, smooth install & works great on Vista system with Photoshop, Lightroom, Autodesk SketchBook Pro 2009, among other apps

The touch strip location makes it too easy to activate it accidentally by running hand over it. Being right handed, I had to deactivate the right one. I haven't found much use for the included mouse
