Does anyone have any experience with Wacom graphics tablets? I ordered a Bamboo today to have a dabble as it was only £40 but I've seen the Cintiq 12 for around £400, I was wondering what peoples experience of them are?
Hoes does the screen work? Is it like an extended display in Display Properties?

I use a full sized cintiq for work everyday and they are a professional level piece of equipment. The 12in one I have no experience with but I have heard it has some problems with shaky/trembling input.
They recently came out with a 13in version that is supposed to be leagues better (I ordered one for personal use), but honestly unless you are doing this professionally or have it as a really serious hobby, theres no real reason to have the Cintiq line. If you like the bamboo a lot, I would suggest upgrading to the Intuos line which is a professional quality product as well, just sans the screen.
The other thing to do would be to get a Yiynova. Its like a cintiq, but not made by Wacom and a lot cheaper. Its not as good as a cintiq, but its also... a lot a lot cheaper. It doesn't really have any problems but theres a lot of features/ease of use things that the Cintiq just gets right. All the same, its a pretty good product and an interesting development considering Wacom has basically had a monopoly on the market for forever.
I'll have a Google for the other thing.
Check out the new 13hd. Looking it up, its £800 which is obviously a lot more than £400 for the 12in but its supposed to be a lot a lot better than the 12 inch one and its still a lot a lot less than £2000.
Looks like you wouldn't even have to wait either. I ordered mine a month and a half ago and I'm still in line.
