i use an intuos 4 !
i used to use a bamboo fun in line 2011-2013

I'm using a small intuos 4. I like it even though the buttons leave a lot to be desired. Been tossing around the idea of getting one of those Yiynova cintiq like tablets.

Started with an intuos pen and touch small when I was a hobbyist.

I've also rented an intuos 4 (medium) and an intuos 5 (medium) from school before going with the pro.
buttons are really handy, but the intuos 5 was definitely better for me.

Bought an intuos pro medium and absolutely loved it. (I work with 3D software and digital media)

not much change between the Intuos 5 touch and Intuos Pro, but the Pro looks and feels better.

since I got a tablet, I almost never use my mouse anymore, unless for games/browsing.

I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun (CTH661) : http://www.cnet.com/products/wacom-.....-touch-cth661/
Since I don't draw that much it works just fine for me. The pen is not the most sensitive but I can't tell if I just don't use it properly or if it's really the pen.
Had it for years (though haven't use it much in the last few), and only had to buy some pen tips 'cause mine got used, and it still works fine!

For the price, it's good quality for a casual artist like me.
