At the moment I have a crappy cheap tablet made by a company called HanWang, who no longer seem to exist. It's very basic, no tilt or rotation sensitivity, and not very ergonomic. In fact it hurts my hand after a while... So I've had a look at these Wacom tablets which everyone seems to use and I reckon I've got 3 options.
1) Put up with the HanWang thing. After all, it does its job and this is only a hobby.
2) Spend £300 on a Wacom Intuos3 A4 tablet.
3) Be really naughty and spend £1500 on a 21" Wacom Cintiq tablet/monitor which is very very cool indeed but I definitely don't need it.
So what do you think? Are the Wacom tablets really good? Worth the money? If I buy one will I suddenly become a great artist and have money and fame and women beyond my wildest dreams? How can I possibly justify £1500 for the Cintiq? Please help.

As for the Bamboo Fun, it works for what I need it for...I think there are still a few of it's features that perhaps I could take advantage of. Sure, it's pretty basic just like the tablet that you already have. But for the price and if you just want to take the casual approach to art instead of the professional approach, then the Bamboo Fun tablet will work just fine for you.

I've had it a few years and have started to get some scratches in the middle of the drawing panel. It still seems to work very well overall though.
Basically it us just a device to more directly translate your lines into the computer- it'll make your digital drawings look more like your drawings on paper.

on the other hand, if you really can afford the cintiq...

Wacom tablets are the best ever.
Me, I dropped $1500 on a tablet computer...
