My son Kyle has the small version of the Bamboo, and I tried it out; it's freaking awesome. I can't believe the sensitivity. After you use it a few times, you take to it as naturally as real paper.
I use A Bamboo fun to draw the maps for the D&D campaign I've been running (and to play Draw My Thing on OMGPOP), and I love it. It's just as good for me as the super expensive graphic designer's tablet I had years ago.
I love my Bamboo, I've used most of Wacom's higher end tablets a fair bit and while I like some of the Intuos 4's controls on the side I find the Bamboo is all I really need not being a particularly skilled painter. I definitely know pros who need the highend stuff to get their jobs done but I think a lot of people write the Bamboo off a bit too quickly, it really does a great job and it feels perfect in my hands.
