I have a medium-sized Intuos 4 at home that I use regularly and use a Cintiq 21UX at work everyday. I love them both, but if money's not an object for you and it's something that's going to get daily use, go with the Cintiq.

In the past I've had a small Graphire 2 (or maybe it was a 3) and it was pretty good for irregular use but had some bad tracking issues near the end of its life. I've used the tiny portable Cintiqs before and can tell you that they are definitely not worth it. The screens are too small to be really worthwhile over an Intuous, especially for the price difference.

So ... My sister got a small Bamboo Pen & Touch she almost never use. Now I need one, and she said I could borrow hers. How is it to use that for 3D-sculpting?
Can't really afford to buy my own atm, and I need it for some stuff at school. So yeah. Does it work at all with sculpting, or am I screwed?

I messed around with Zbrush for a month or so last year when I had a Graphire and it was perfectly fine, so I imagine the Bamboo won't give you any trouble.

I've been using Cintiqs for a bit now at my internship. Drawing in Flash is super fun, but inking in Photoshop is really hard. I've noticed the same problem with my Intuos2 in that Photoshop gets wobbly lines, which apparently other people are getting too, with or without Cintiqs: http://creativeboytv.deviantart.com/art/CINTIQ-21UX-Line-qualities-72022346

Yet Painter makes the lines really nice and smooth. I've looked everywhere for a solution to this, but can't find anything. Anyone know of a way to fix this on a Mac?
Photoshop, Painter and Sketchbook Pro all seem to do certain things better than one another and I use all three for pretty much that reason.

Sketchbook Pro is great for thumbnails and roughs, Photoshop is great for colouring and effects and Painter has without a doubt the nicest cleanup lines.
