Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet (Medium, Black)
- No Longer Available
The Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet sports an elegant design with increased functionality and ease of use a top priority. Plus the rugged and elegant pen tablet is designed specifically for the mainstream home or office computer user. Bamboo Fun makes it easy for users to personalize their workflow and collaborate with others by providing navigation and communication capabilities not available with typical input devices. Users can select a pen or highlighter tool to mark-up documents, spreadsheets, presentation slides and e-mail messages; or gain precise control when creating or editing artwork, photographs or other graphics applications.
Four programmable ExpressKeys are situated on the tablet surface to customize commonly used commands, such as undo or copy, and a finger-sensitive Touch Ring has been positioned to allow for quick and easy zooming and scrolling. The textured work surface of the tablet provides an intuitive pen-on-paper feel, while the stylish and ergonomically designed pens allow users to experience seemingly unlimited levels of pressure sensitivity, to create variations of pen strokes, from fine lines to bold brush marks. Additionally, Bamboo Fun works in both Mac and PC environments.
Bamboo Fun includes full editions of valuable creative software to help get your creative juices flowing. Edit photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements, create artwork with Corel Painter Essentials, and apply photo effects with Nik Color Efex Pro.

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet (Medium, Black):
I wanted to get more serious with photoshop and editing my photos. After searching products and brands I chose to go with Wacom, there really was not comparison. They have solid products and designs; the pen feels completely natural and has no wires!
I chose the medium size because I was unsure how I would be using the tablet. For photo editing the medium is large enough, perhaps too large for some people depending on how you will use it. Some people may prefer just wrist movements or others may prefer larger arm movements. Either way you can always crop the active area on the tablet so getting a larger than needed tablet isn't a problem.
The only issue I find worth mentioning was that the driver disc would not load on my mac. I have a 2 year old mac pro laptop and don't have issues with other discs. However, every time I attempted to load the instal disc it would not read it. Luckily I was able to download from the website, but it would have been nice to avoid the headache.
All in all I am satisfied with this tablet and would certainly recommend it for those looking for their first tablet.

Currently doing some courses in drawing and just wanted that technical edge. This product was recommended by a friend and it proves to be an excellent choice.
Very easy to use and it really makes things simpler with producing my art work for electronic handling.

This tablet from Wacom is a good entry level choice. It's very precise, well built , very thin and also good looking. I bought it for my mother, she's a plastic artist.

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet (Medium, Black):
I purchased Bamboo Fun Medium for my Photoshop photo retouching work. This is my first tablet and therefore I was not sure what size or type to get.
Now, after some experience I think that particularly for Photoshop retouching smaller tablet would be sufficient and perhaps better.
I think the Bamboo Fun is good enough for this type of work and I do not regret not buying more expensive type. The only issue I have is that the pen requires a little bit more pressure than I use for handwriting (think of it as pencil vs. pen).

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet (Medium, Black):
I am not a professional graphic artist but I do use photoshop quite a bit. I found the tablet very easy to install and use. The pen is easy to learn. My primary uses are (1) quick masks, (2) burn and dodge, and (3) paintbrush. I found with the paintbrush tool you make nice "grundge" frames, the current rage in GA. I think I may have to replace the nib on the pen someday, but to me the medium tablet was a very good buy, especially at B&H.

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet (Medium, Black):
As a Professional Photographer using a tablet is a necessity, the Bamboo Fun model not only handles my work without skipping a beat but for less then [$] it didn't break the budget either !Very comfortable, precise and not too big for my desktop work space, the Bamboo Fun has just been a great addition to my work flow tools and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tablet on a budget. Professional results can be had from this tool and you don't have to spend a fortune doing it ! I only wish it had come with a few extra replacement tips for the pen and as for the mouse I don't really like using it because of the lack of extra buttons/wheels that my own mouse has. Other then that it's a great tool, built well and makes doing precise work on your photos a snap ! It takes a bit of getting used to over the mouse but after a few hours it becomes second nature and I would NEVER go back to doing post production work with a mouse ever again! I would however recommend getting the 4x6 model as I did, anything less would be too small. Bravo WACOM!
