What size?
Tablet size often correlates to your screen size. A small tablet on a huge monitor is going to be no good, as your hand movements will be too large for accurate drawing. A huge tablet on a small monitor is almost as pointless, although good for detail work, and very expensive.
Also think if you want it to be portable or not - an A4 (9x12") tablet isn't going anywhere but a desk!

Size also correlates to your hand gestures. Do you draw small and detailed? If so, get a smaller tablet. Do you huge large, sweeping movements? A bigger tablet is what you want!

Finally, aspect ratios. If you have a widescreen monitor, seriously consider Wacom's new range of Intuos3 Wide tablets, which are mapped for the 16:9 ratio of widescreen displays.

thanx fo the reply, I think I'm going to buy a Intuos A5. Now U just have to finish my summerholliday job so i have the money, because 280euros aint cheap for a student

I do have another question. What softwere do you sugest for skeching(not rendering), because I've red in lots of places that photoshop isnt very good in doing that.

I have a big A3 Wacom and a load of pens but usually sketch in biro and render with PS7 a mouse. Its quicker and neater.
