I am looking towards buying a drawing tablet for use with Photoshop etc. Does
anyone have any suggestions brand wise?

I found some on EBay, the brands were: UC-LOGIC, Wacom, DigiPro,

Hanvon, Aquila, Graphire, GENIUS, Medion, Cool-iCam, CyberTablet, Nisis Easypen, Art Pad, Adesso, Acecad, Aiptek, E 3 WORKS, KB Gear,

Being new to this gizmo I would like some feedback also, on what size is best
to get, 4×6, 6×8, or larger. Some have wireless mice and some are stand alone,
is one better than the other, or should just get a stand alone tablet? What about
pressure levels, is this important?

Any suggestions or comments would be most appreciated… kk

Get a USB Wacom – they have the best driver support, tips and drawing surface are available even for the oldest models, and their equipment can be used to hammer nails and it will still work. If you’re a trained artist, or if you use arm motion to draw, you’ll find the larger tablets beneficial. Otherwise if you’re a scribbler like me, a smaller tablet will do nicely, and save you some desk space. Whatever model you choose, make sure it is pressure sensitive, and compatible with Photoshop.

Strongly agree, regarding the Wacoms. I’ve had them for decades, and the very first one still works fine and the recently released driver installed and runs fine with W2K, which is about 5 generations of OS from when this tablet was released.

I’ve never tried the others, but also have had no reason to do so.
