Is the Wacom Intuos4 Small too small? Any photographers or graphic designers feel differently who own one?

I do photo editing and digital painting, if all he is doing to do is edit then size really wont matter but if you'd like him to have the option to paint later on then a medium or larger would be better.

I would have to say yes, although I'm just an art student, so I'm still in learning, however, even so, I do like this tablet. Especially because of the smaller version of the big 24hd. As an art student, I have to carry it for work to school and back, so it's perfect for me. Even for home I simply love it. It's comfortable to work on it on a table, or on your lap, or however you want. Good luck with your choice! :)

Yes it is kinda small for that, I have upgraded to the larger version, which is much easier to use

Including a display in the tablet would be incredibly expensive; however, Wacom does offer the Cintiq line which provides exactly that. There are also cheaper tablets from Yiynova that do that as well. Personally I prefer the detached tablet, because then my hand doesn't get in the way of seeing what I'm working on. Also, having a 1:1 correlation between the pen and the mouse cursor makes it more annoying to have any slight accuracy or latency problem, while if you have your hand decoupled from the cursor those issues aren't as noticeable.

Not for that. I use my Surface Pro 3 for drawing and the 23" for controls and reference.

Intuos 6x8 is portable and it should be fine. I see alot of digital artists carrying it and stuffing them into their laptop cases.But my friend who has it broke the thing in like a month (her dad accidently dropped it)so be sure to get the insurance thing and be very careful!

Intuos has more pressure levels (1024 vs 512) and probably a higher resolution (not positive on that one). I haven't actually used an Intuos, but I do own a Graphire 3. If you're not a serious artist or aren't doing detailed work, a Graphire should suffice.

No. i just bought it for this reason and it doesnt work.. updated wacom drivers, removed small stylus, rebooted, etc. Nada.

I'd agree, you BARELY have space for a pen... Mine barely zips with a standard pen/stylus along the side..

I own an older Wacom, the Intuos 2. It's over a decade old but works wonderfully with Manga Studio 4 EX.

I formerly used a wacom tablet. It it more ergonomic, but sometimes picking up the stylus slows me down. I use a regular laser mouse now. It is fine. The keyboard width is not an issue; it is not any wider than any other keyboard, as far as I can tell.

Honestly, at first i didn't liked it at all. But now im kind of get used to sketchbook pro, The wacom apps are really awful. (excuse my english, hope you understand me)

For comparison the medium size tablet takes up about the same area as my 17" laptop on the tablet and the long dimension extends past all of my textbooks. You might have a hard time fitting it into smaller bookbags and satchels. I would agree with Don and suggest sticking with a small tablet if you plan to move around a lot or share a table with friends. Alternatively, consider buying a small, cheap bamboo/intuos for traveling and/or buying time to try out your friends' devices before upgrading to the pro line.

Yes this is the exact same device as from the Wacom page. Be careful to choose which size you really need. The price difference can be enough to change your mind. Unless you are using this to do full page art projects in Photoshop, etc. stick with the Medium or Small size.

I'm not an artist, but you might find this comparison between an ep121 and the 21 inch cintiq useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAZg9bEPm1E

The basic small is what you need. Optionally, you could spring for the eraser version. It comes down to personal preference on surface area for drawing...tablets take a bit of getting used to. Hope this helps.
