Digitizing Tablets - Product Reviews

pengshi - (October 21, 2004) First, the good: This is a great investment for me. I have carpel tunnel syndrome and after I got this tablet, my hand feels a lot better. Since I am a web developer, this tool is also great The two buttons on the pen takes some getting used to, but once you learn it, they are great. “Button A” act as “Right Click” and “button B” act as, believe it or not, “Double Click”. This might seem weird if you are used to double clicking a mouse button, but it makes perfect sense. Since single click is achieved by touching the pen tip to the tablet surface, you have to tap the pen tip really quick twice to double click. The repetitive action gets tiring after a while. Or, y

bluenoodl - (October 07, 2004) I purchased the Intuous3 and have found it to be incredibly sensitive to touch - more so than the earlier models, giving me an enormous amount of control. The 6x8 is a great size to work on. I prefer to work on my lap, and it is comfortable in that position as well as desktop. Wacom has excellent customer service as well. I highly recommend this tablet to any professional or amateur photographer/artist.

tashagill - (December 16, 2004) I can't say enough good things about my Wacom Intuos3 6x8. It's the perfect size. A larger tablet would have meant too much hand movement for my comfort. I had no problem learning how to draw on the tablet while looking at the screen. The tablet is so senstive that it picks every nuance. The pressure sensitivity is a great feature and the included software and brushes are a wonderful plus. I love the fact that I can use the stylus in mouse-mode to navigate my desktop. It's very fast and does a lot to relieve stress on my wrist. I love the fact that the stylus doess't have to actually touch the surface to be detected. It's almost like using a pointer. An amazing tool. I can't w

redundancychecker - (11/12/2009) As far as drawing digitally goes, this is by far the best thing out there. When compared to the 6x8 wacom tablet, I draw more comfortably and closer to how I draw on paper. I'm able to draw tighter and get more detail and line variety. I still find myself thumbnailing better on paper, but for clean-ups the Cintiq is amazing.

korvinsnerf - (04/05/2009) pen tablets are a must for art work. The wacom mouse is slow when it gets dirty. very "draggy" until a new felt is applied to the mouse. Pen is wonderful the tips are durable,easy to change and inexpensive to buy.

mezorn - (03/19/2009) This little wonder is a great value, especially for the price. Graphics tablets have traditionally been a little expensive for those that don't use them often. This one changes that. I work with graphic designers that use this tablet extensively, and they all love it. The size, weight, and clean lines of the tablet made it seem insubstantial at first. But, as soon as I used it, what seemed like drawbacks became great strengths. The small footprint turns out to be a big advantage. Why have a big, clunky tablet when a small, well-built one works so well
