For digital painting/inking how does the functionality of this model differ/compare to the med/small Intuos tablets?

The main difference is that the large tablet is much better the the med/small tablets if you want to draw/paint with your whole arm as opposed to just from the wrist. As far as functionality, the large tablets buttons and gestures work just the same as the medium tablet. The small tablet does have fewer buttons, and I assume that the hand gestures work just the same as for the large and medium tablets, but I don't know for sure. I used to use a 8X6 tablet, and I prefer the large tablet so much more just for being more comfortable while drawing.

I would recomend Paint.Net or Gimp. Paint.Net I believe supports tablets and is basically a cross between MS Paint and Photoshop tools, Gimp I've never used but I've heard good things about plus I believe both of them are free.

Hello. I have both the Intuos3 and Intuos4 larger tablets. I have found the Intuos4 is a lot more convenient in that the key setup you can create for a specific program displays on the tablet. I had virtually the same set-up for a program like Photoshop CS4, but with my Intuos4 I don't pause and think, "What does this button do again?" It's right there. That alone for me is worth the price.But I got my Intuos4 in exchange for a laptop and docking station I wasn't using (bought a better laptop).I would say if you have a choice and the money, get the Intuos4. I have no regrets. I use my Intuos3 on my other, smaller computer, but only every now and then, and then for nothing too major. Hello. I have both the Intuos3 and Intuos4 larger tablets.

I recently bought one as a replacement for a DTZ-2100 C/G. Based on my research, the intuos 3 pens (which this is) share the same interface with this generation of Cintiq(DTZ). I haven't used it much yet, but I can confirm that it looks/feels like the old one and calibrated correctly to the screen. Worked same as the original in limited 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.

Well, first, I wouldn't buy this if I were you. Wacoms may be more expensive, but Huion is known to have a lot of problems, and if you're new to digital art (while cheap) this is really not the greatest. I use the program Krita and it's AWESOME with TONS of custom brushes you can find online if you search for 'em. Happy arting!

The pen input is really nice for Adobe Creative suite. You'll have to download addition drivers from Wacom. So from that perspective it would be a great PS tool. But if I were to go that route I would rather spring for a core i5 surface pro 3. A traditional laptop should be more powerful dollar for dollar but you don't get the wacom digitizer.

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.

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.

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

This tablet is amazing, I have zero complaints so far - the drawing area is close to the size of drawing on an 8x10 sheet of paper. I haven't tried a Wacom, but I can't see what one would offer that the monoprice doesn't (this has hotkeys, pressure sensitivity, battery for the pen and an led blink to let you know when its in range). Also many applications (GNU Image Manipulation Program, mtpaint, aseprite and other animation tools) work out of the box with it (at least under GNU/Linux - which I'd guess for sure they do on Windows/OSX) as far as having great defaults for the pen's two buttons (open menu/zoom in and out etc.). I highly recommend this tablet.

In my opinion, yes. The included pen is very responsive to the tablet's screen. You also have access to many different note-taking apps on the Play Store. If you have excellent handwriting, by all means, go digital!

The display uses capacitive pressure-sensing multi-touch detection for pin-point precision while writing and drawing and you can use a stylus. It uses technology from wacom. Just look at the price of this baby and you'll see it's a bargain. Wacom Cintiq 12WX 12-Inch Pen Display

Yes it is, i found it to work very well in many types of editing software as well, like Photoshop,Manga Studio,Blender,Zbrush,Sculptris,Daz Studio 3d,Gimp, etc....and yes i have all of these lol. Some is limited to the tablet but over all...GREAT!! Plus many hot keys and buttons vs the Wacom

I was disappointed with this product because it could not activate 5-6 tools (brushes, pens, pencils). I could have gotten a bad one so I would not consider my reply as the gospel truth. Just my personal experience with it. If I were in a profession such as yours, I would opt for a more expensive device such as Wacom Intuous 5 or 6. Go to Facebook and search for renderings using various tablets. You'll see actual the methods of how the artists use these various devices to make their art. Hope this helps.

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.

cristian you have to ck with MS Specs. the pen was designed for Android systems I think. it has a small electronic package in it. go to frys and try out the bamboo pen which is speced for tablets.
