Budget graphic tablet.

I have arthritis in my right hand (possibly related to a motorbike accident I had when I was younger) and so I use a Wacom tablet. I'd have liked one of the larger semi-professional models but like many people I've got budget constraints when it comes to my photography hobby so I bought a Wacom Bamboo medium sized tablet (the Bamboo range is aimed at home users).

It's been totally reliable.

 

I was just going to suggest the Bamboo. When on sale, they are dirt cheap. I got mine for $35.

 

Ditto on the bamboo. Most larger semi-pro models are intended for people actually drawing illustrations. Photo editing is less demanding, and a smaller size isn't a problem.

Cheers,

 

Wacom Bamboo Fun is great.

 

Yes, Bamboo Pen is fine. That's the part that you need.

Bamboo Pen + Touch is what I get, but only because the tablet is the ONLY pointing device I use so it's useful to have the touch pad for my laptop when I don't want to reach for the Pen just to move the cursor while using the keyboard. The touch function is not what the tablet is about though, the pen function is.
