Graphics Tablet
I'm interested in purchasing a budget graphics tablet, which will be mainly used to create sketches/drawings in photoshop and also to help with texturing.
I know wacom is the leading brand in this field, but what others are worth a look? What kind of features should I look out for? And would a small sized tablet (A5/A6) be sufficient?
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

I suggest you do this.
gotta have a student ID or something to get one though.
No. You don't.
Although I am a student. The link I posted to on Amazon is exactly the one I bought through Amazon, which I did not give any student ID for and (at the time) was about 50 cheaper than average price.
I just ordered that exact same one. Should be here Friday. I'm pretty excited. Does the medium work well from you lap? I hated the large ones because I couldn't move them around easily.
The Intuos4 I bought for the wife, and haven't used it myself, but she loves it. It's fairly compact and actually smaller than the Intuos3 6x11 (which is pretty big). Much more sensitive than what she was using (Graphire).
I like that you can swith between 2 screens while pressing twich the "swithbutton screen".
So it´s possible you press and hold on a window´s move area, press twich that "swithbutton screen" button, release the mosue then then you have put the widows on other screen.
I use a 22 wide and a 19 screen. You can also work one top-half of the tablet without for the both screen. for me works fine this they. only drawing or texture dawing I would prefire the swith.
I used to use a wacome classic xl what have a area a5 as well, It´s cheap but I would if I have to go on lower buget go for a smaller one. I also did try a6 come intues 1.
for photoshop texture working is it very good.
Also I would ask you do you have to move this tablet?
My experinces a5 wide works well with a DJ-Bag and and 15.5 zoll notebook-protection-slip.

I got my intuos4 large for $350 (I forgot the site's name, I could look it up again) but the seller asked for an ID before they could ship it.
Did you buy it from Amazon? I'm sorry to hear that. Nobody ever contacted me about an ID.
