Salam guys, I have been intrigued by Digital Arts for a long time now and I will be taking classes for it. During the summer break, however, I would like to learn some stuff on my own. Please suggest me a graphics tablet that is reliable enough and not so expensive. Under $150 would be good enough.
Thanks

Edit : Which one is bettter? DigiPro WP5540 or VisTablet PenPad

Thanks for the suggestion and Digital Arts as in Photoshop, After Effects and Dreamweaver ( even though word is that Adobe will introduce a new software to take Dreamweaver's place. So they might teach us that, then) Along with sketching and sculpting.^_^

well all these are different field you mentioned you should be focused to something you really feel you are interested in
Digital art is vast field , Aftereffects is other Field which is vast as well , Dreamweaver the web devlopment field is also pretty vast
so you should stick to single thing and work hard on it

My interest in arts started with After Effects, when I used the program, I quickly felt the need to learn Photoshop and learnt that both of these go hand-in-hand. Besides, the school has bundled all of it in the 4 year semester, so...

@XTR3MiST

most tablets from the wacom range are generally great, Babrus Khan uses a Wacom Bamboo which is pretty badass as I hear the new ones come with 1024 levels of pressure.

My preffered weapon of choice is the Wacom Intuos 4 ... 2048 levels of pressure and very very precise ... i bought mine for 21k a year or two ago ...

for pics and details on the one I own, go here http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f3/amars-intuos4-tablet-unboxing-warning-50997/

i would suggest a Wacom Bamboo anyday, wacom products are a tad expensive but you'll know where the extra money went.

Bamboo Tablets | Wacom Americas
By now 3 other people have suggested me Bamboo on other forums =D. I have seen work done with 1024 pressure levels, 2048 would be very accurate.

Thanks both of you for the suggestion.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
