 Large, textured work surface and customizable keys give you artistic control. |
 Multi-Touch lets you scroll, zoom, and rotate your screen with simple hand gestures. |
Measuring 9.8 by 6.9 inches, the Bamboo Craft is compact enough to store comfortably in a laptop case. It features a large and responsive active area, providing enough workspace for even your most ambitious projects. For added convenience, four ExpressKeys provide quick access to user-defined shortcuts.
The tablet also comes with a battery-free pen with an easy-to-grip design, so you can have maximum control over your drawing. The work surface is textured, providing a pen-on-paper feel. It's also reversible, so you can use it whether you're right- or left-handed.
The Bamboo Craft is simple to set up. Simply plug the tablet into your computer via a USB port, install the provided drivers, and you're ready to go. You'll be doodling, writing, and painting in minutes.
Enhance Creativity with Multi-Touch Technology
With the Bamboo Craft, Wacom has implemented a new technology called Multi-Touch. Typically, tablets require you to use the stylus for navigation, but Multi-Touch provides a comfortable, hands-on alternative. It allows you to quickly navigate through your computer with a single finger. You can also scroll, zoom, and rotate your screen with simple hand gestures. It's intuitively-designed and easy to use -- even if you're new to the touch experience.
For precision work, you can use the included pen. When you use the pen, the screen will automatically recalibrate for more precise use. In your hands, the pen quickly becomes an all-purpose art tool. It features 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, allowing you to perform tasks ranging from fine handwriting to wide-brush painting. You can add hand-drawn embellishments to your favorite digital photos, or provide a personal touch to your scrapbooking pages.
First-Class Visual Editing Software
The tablet also comes with a full suite of visual editing software, including Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 (Win/Mac), Corel Painter Essentials 4.0 (Win/Mac), and Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 WE3--valued separately at several hundred dollars. Also included is a DVD with 26 scrapbooking lessons from Jane Conner-Ziser, an expert in digital imaging and much more.
Bamboo Craft is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and Mac OS X (10.4.8 or higher). It also requires a powered USB drive, a colore monitor, and a CD/DVD drive.

This is the second generation of this line, which features multi-touch. # What's in the Box A Tablet A Pen Three pen-tip replacement A pen-tip extractor No more mouse offered. (No one uses Wacom's mouse anyway...) # Pen It features Wacom's typical technologies: No battery needed, No cable, and an eraser-programed tail. New Bamboo pen has just OK grip. Just OK. However, if you own an Intuos, it might be little rough for you. Unlike beautifully curved and rubber gripped Intuos pen, it is simply a plain circular cylinder. It is about the size of three AAA batteries lined up. From 2nd generation, Bamboo line features 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. The higher level allows you to draw...

Easy to use!, By This review is from: Wacom CTH461 Bamboo Craft Tablet (Personal Computers) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) I have been an avid user of Wacom products for almost a decade now and for digital artwork, I still use my Intuous 3 Graphic Tablet. But now I have a new Wacom tablet known as the Bamboo Craft, part of Wacom's latest line of budget-priced Bamboo tablets (from lowest to highest in price: (all black) Bamboo Pen, Bamboo Touch and Bamboo Pen & Touch. And over the $100 range are the Bamboo Craft and Bamboo Fun in metallic silver). The Bamboo Craft are for those who want a tablet for their Mac or PC and all that is required is that you have a USB port and the room/table space to place your tablet. The Bamboo Craft is about 9.8 x 6.9 (with the active area at 5.8 x 3.6). For those that need something larger, the Bamboo Fun is about 13.3 x 8.8 (with an active area about 8.5 x 5.4). Note: This is very important, it's great to have more active area space (I believe the bigger the better) but having owned several in the past, what I've learned is that it also comes...

I was a little skeptical about this tablet, since I'm not really fond of gimmicks or excessive gadgetry, but thought I would give it a try, as my old Wacom Intuos is getting a little long in the tooth. But I love this tablet! It's the perfect size to go with a notebook computer, and the touch pad is so much more comfortable than that little one on most laptops. I was already very familiar with the pen from my old Intuos, and it works just the same, exactly like a normal pen would. You can either use a little button on the pen to double-click, or just touch the pen to the surface. It's a wonderful invention that I love. As for the multi-touch part of the tablet, I actually like that part as well. I watched the tutorials to get the hang of it, but it was pretty easy. The only gesture that was not intuitive for me was dragging a file or folder. I had to look that one up, and at first I couldn't get it, but after using the tablet for an hour I felt like a pro.
