I've been looking at the "Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch" They've improved sensitivity of the Bamboos to decent level and it adds MacBook Touchpad functionality to any machine (including windows!)

I agree with the trackball. I've only had mine for about a year now on my desktop and love it, but for photo editing you cannot beat the tablet. I have the Bamboo, not a very expensive one, that I bought of the Wacom website, refurbished. Were as I would think that the larger ones are even better, the one that I have does the job just great. I would recommend the Bamboo to anyone.

Just received a wacom Intuos4 Medium last week.
Still learning to use it with Lightroom.
It requires time to get use to go across the whole tablet to go from on screen corner to another.
But so far I like to work with the tablet.

My only complain is when I tap on the picture in Lightroom & it zooms the picture.
If if tap again it does not go back to normal... but have my mouse not far so jus tlift the pen a little & hit the mouse left button.
