Fantastic so far

This tablet was to replace my old Bamboo Craft tablet. I've previously purchased from Wacom, and they continue to make pleasing products. This tablet runs perfectly. I do a lot of digital art (in Photoshop, Paint Tool SAI, and other programs) and having a pressure sensitive, easy-to-use tablet is a must.
The Bamboo Capture fits those needs for a great price. It has the same level of pressure as my Craft, but it seems to work better than my old tablet ever did.
The programs included run great as well. I particularly love the Autodesk Sketchbook Express, though you cannot save layers because it is not the full program.

The downsides to this? Installation failed twice on me, and you have to buy the wireless components for an extra forty dollars.
Beyond that, I recommend this product. It's a fantastic buy for the price.

The included software is good, but I was hoping for more with the Pen tablet. It is a little better than using the mouse, but for my uses, not worth the price. I think an artist would like it, but for graphics I really don't use it.

Comments about Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen Tablet (CTH470):

Was looking for something that can serve multiple purposes. My son works on KhanAcademy.com and uses the pad to work on the math problems in the scratchpad. My daughter loves to draw on paper now she is doing some great drawings on the computer thanks to this great pad.

Good hardware and the programs that comes with it make it a good value. Sketchbook does need upgraded to use for more professional uses if you wish to do so.

Q:

  A:
  Yes, this would work with your Adobe Illustrator. However for artwork in Illustrator, you may be interested in upgrading to a Intuos4 tablet. The Intuos4 tablets provide a lot more functionality and the increased active area is very useful when creating vector images or tracing images.
  
  Additionally, it is compatible with your Mac computer.

  You should not have any problem using this tablet with Autodesk.The Capture and the Connect are very similar; The Capture can do anything the Connect can with bonus features and software.
