I have one, but I don't use it for photo editing. I really just use mine for writing digitally for some graphic stuff I have to put together. I still can't get the "feel" for a tablet for photo editing and I'm too impatient to practice. :)
I bought myself the same exact one for Christmas. I absolutely love it. It takes some getting used to for editing, but I've been using a Bamboo tablet for about a year now to edit my photos.
My wrist doesn't hurt as much, I feel I have better control using a paint brush for dodging and burning, and I am able to do fine detail work much easier. It's really just like using your pen! I love mine.
I bought one with the intent of using it for photo editing. I took it to work one day to 'test' it with my work computer -- I'm an AutoCAD draftsman by trade. It has only come back home with me a couple of times in the 4 months since. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I'm fairly confident that I'm measurably faster using the tablet than my mouse, and at the end of the day my wrist doesn't hurt anymore. Although, for extremely precise work, I still tend to switch over to the mouse - the 'hover & tap' method for the pen input can 'bump' you a couple pixels sometimes.
If you've never used a tablet before, it will take you a couple days of practice to really get used to it. I hooked mine up to my home computer and played with it for 2 nights after work, and then on the 3rd day I took it to work with me. By the end of that 8 hour day, using the pen was second nature.
I got one a few weeks ago and I love it, does take some retraining but so much less likely to cause RSI than mouse which is predominately why I got it (nothing to do with LOVING new gadgets !! ) I'm very much still learning yet.
After a few days you will wonder why you didn't change before, I haven't done much editing with it yet due to time constraints but sure it will only improve things for me.
