Anyone use a graphics tablet out there? Any recommendations Thinking about getting one but not sure if it'd be worth it. I do a lot of design work. Thanks Recommend
Wacom tablets are the best ones, but also quite expensive. I have a Genius - a cheap one, but I recently purchased a new Wacom Intuos3 9x11 for advanced design work - I need it for sketching, as I'm an industrial design student. I would say it depends on how professional work you need it for - maybe you will be fine with a Genius, these are not bad too. However, I don't use tablet for graphic design (logo design, web design), I'm fine with mouse for this work.
I used to have a Wacom tablet, but i sold it off to get some quick money cause i never used it. It's handy, and I'd like another one sometime, but wacom is expensive (but good quality) and I dont want to lock into them again if there is a just as good but cheaper alternative. I had the 6x11 sized one. That was a good size to have, not to big but not to small. Let me know if you find a better alternative
Check out the Wacom Cintiq. It's pricey but if you're really serious about design work, it's a great tool to have. I use the 21.3" version and I couldn't imagine going back to using a mouse.
I use a Wacom Sapphire. I think it is about 6X8 which I have never had any problems with (working Flash). This pad has also lasted me about 2-3years. I wouldn't waste too much money on something too big. Then again, I wouldn't go any smaller than 6X8...
^ How about buying a wacom on Ebay? It might break, then there's no insurance. that's my only problem with buying a wacom
I had a Bamboo tablet, it was really good, but after a few weeks i realised i probably wouldnt get the amount of it of it for its value so i returned it and got some awesome ipod speakers
I've got an old Wacom Graphire and love it. Another vote for Wacom here even their cheapest and smallest tablets are great.
see... everybody loves Wacom it looks like "everybody loves raymond" lol btw, i got wacom graphire 2 limited edition. white color version.
our team use wacom intuos 3 though we really dream of having a cintiq someday......you can go to wacom's website and there's a link there where they will recommend you what wacom tablet fits your need. All you have to do is to answer a few questions and they will tell you exactly what do you need to use...of course it's not really that accurate but it will help you make your decision...
