An Intuos 5 body with a CINTIQ screen on it would be PERFECT. The 15" model. Instant purchase.

Unfortunately, nothing has officially been announced from Wacom. They tend to not announce new products until right when they're about to come out (such as the Intuos 5), so it's anyone's guess when a new version will be available, if it ever will be. I, for one, am really hoping for an update to the 12wx because I'd like to upgrade to a Cintiq after using the Intuos 3 for years. I find the larger Cintiq models to be too big for my needs (and expensive!), but everyone is different.Here's hoping Wacom is listening to its customers and comes out with an update to the 12wx very soon. I know I will buy it! Unfortunately, nothing has officially been announced from Wacom.

In case anyone is interested and hasn't heard yet, Wacom FINALLY announced an update to the old 12wx. It's the Cintiq 13hd. It will be available in early April. Details are on Wacom's website.It looks beautiful and much improved over this old model. Can't wait until it's available on Amazon.

It is the only one I know of that came out recently. There may some newer ones, but they were more expensive than this model.

I don't know but I owned one over a year and a half ago and it was technically outdated when it came out.

Absolutely wait if you can. Wacom is superb, but their price point, based on having been the only player in town is astronomical. Huion from China is really good, but it is not yet to the level of Wacom. There are others as well, but they are doing one thing. They are forcing Wacom to take a look at a more realistic price point. If prices aren't cut within the year to at most, 60% of the current price, Huion will have come out with their next generation. That one, I will bet is a match, at a minimum, to Wacom. Either way, wait a short while if yo can and get the better of the two.

Hello, sorry for the confusion. I wrote the review mentioning the DVI, but I accidentally posted it on the wrong device. The DVI will be available on the NEXT version of the MVP22U+IPS (v3), which will be out in a few weeks/months, I believe. I have deleted the review on the v2, and will post it again when the v3 is available.

It seems like these guys buy them from wacom.com and add their $500 profit. I think this is an Amazon's fail because they allow it. When Amazon sell it directly they use the right price though.

The difference between these products is this is the one you want. They both work as a smaller cintiq plugged into your computer but the 13HD came out before, and can not work independently as a mobile sketching tool. Also, there are some things about the functionality that people with the 13HD have complained about regarding the looseness of the cable which links to the monitor which can cause the screen to go black as you shift around while drawing. I should also note that if you go to the wacom store like I did, this product starts at 1200, with free shipping. So after taxes was about 1400, only about 400 more than the 13HD.

I too am looking for a new cyber-shot. I am looking to buy the dsc-w290 but I have heard great things about the WX1, such as the new panoramic sweep mode and cmos sensor. Not to mention zoomable HD video is amazing.Why you should wait however, is that this is the first batch of cameras with the new sensor. It also uses a smaller LCD than the 3.0 inch they started using such as the dsc-w290 and is only 10.1 mp which if you shoot in 16:9 mode, will be even less.Sony will come out with new cameras being announced in January at the CES 2010 show and then you should decide. If nothing substantial is announced, the price for this will have dropped greatly. I too am looking for a new cyber-shot.

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.

oK I have pen, how does it work? Kids lost my original Bamboo stylus. I ordered the EP155EK for my Wacom tablet. But it does nothing. Surely, I'm doing something wrong?

I would personally stay away from it, as their customer support is so bad, that I'm still waiting to hear back from them (almost a year... and I did submit multiple emails through their website and facebook). My cintiq broke (almost without any use) 2 months before the warranty expired and they never responded. I would look for another option away from Wacom.

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.

Don't even consider getting the V1 (version 1), there were multiple display issues, connection issues, quality issues UI issues etc. All those problems were solved and improved with the V2. The V2 is as good or better than the Cintiq generally speaking.

ahh i see...but I'm still confused...because on the wacom site it said that all intuos include Nik Color Efex Pro, Wacom Brushes 3, and 2 programs from a list. (just like the list above my comment)So basically, the acad version is the same as the original? ;;

You're kind of right. When it was announced in January, laptops and desktops at that time already had more powerful video cards. It is a tight configuration under the hood so you can't open it up and put newer components. You only have the options Razer gives you. I don't think this gaming tablet will be outdated anytime soon because there is no other tablet out there that has a Nvidia video card and Intel i7 combination and I haven't heard any announcements from any other company of joining in on the gaming tablet category. What I have heard are companies making smaller tablets that have weaker components. You're kind of right.

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

I´m not an expert but, i use the wacom Cintiq 18sx at home which uses 512 levels and i have a wacom intuos 3 with 1024 levels. The pen of the Intuos is not compatible with the cintiq. So Im sure, you can´t upgrade the presure sensitivity by a pen. The pen must fit to the display technology.But 256 Levels are not sooo bad. My first wacom (bought in 1998) had 256 levels and i really liked it.
