Hey can anyone help me where i can buy a not so expensive graphic tablet for amateur drawing and painting.

Should be robust.Wacom is the only brand and the best brand.....but is there anyone who has used or is using any other brand??
 
I use a Wacom Intuos 3 A5 Wide and it's really really good... Much more accurate and more sensitive than the cheapo iball etc. tablets that you get... If you're going for a cheap tablet, a Wacom Bamboo or an Intuos 3 would be a good idea (I'm assuming Intuos 3 prices have gone down after the release of Intuos 4)

Bamboo - Product Overview
 
There really is only one good choice and that is a Wacom, although a little more expensive they really last. I have had my Wacom for about 6 years and it is still working like it did when I bought it. I have personally tried other brands and they just don't hold up, the Wacom I use has over 1024 levels of pressure and I am only using the 5x6 Intuitos 2 XD. This is an older model and I am sure there have been improvements. There are other threads about this that have been posted on TE before so you could do a search and see what other people have written about it ;)

:D Oh yeah... and one more thing :P Wacom is the only brand that has drivers for every flavor of windows and also for Mac and has an incredibly good open source driver for Linux too.... truly cross platform.
 
If u r looking for a Tablet PC ,then i m selling one , u might be interested : LINK

Otherwise , if you just want a Digital canvas, Wacom +1 ,otherwise u can have a look on those made by the iBall.
