Is it smart to buy one now or will Wacom release an update soon?

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.

Yes. The Wacom Intuos5 Touch Small Pen Tablet is the exact same tablet that you would receive from Wacom's website. The Intuos5 is their latest version.

I'm pretty sure you can get around that by downloading the driver directly. Try doing a search for them. The tablet will work plug and play, but with fewer features I think. I actually downloads some Wacom drivers too, based on something I read on a forum. Short answer-- it shouldn't be a problem.

My quick look at the Wacom site (Asia Pacific), indicates that the Art Pen is compatible with this tablet.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wacom comes out with an affordable all-inclusive wireless pen tablet. Naturally that'll happen soon AFTER you buy the latest wired tablet.

I just looked it up on Wacom's site. The p/n for gen 3 is ACK20610. I couldn't find it at Amazon.

This tablet is no longer manufactured by Wacom. There are some current Intuos tablet models which are closer to the price that you mention however. The seller's price may be due to the limited availability of this specific product, since it is no longer in production.

Since it's such a new model, I doubt you'll find it on sale right now. I did find a site that has it in stock, but I'm not familiar with the company myself. Here's the link if you want to check it out:http://www.techonweb.com/products/productdetail.aspx?id=A06FA5

Sorry it's working' that way for you. It has been just as good as my initial pen for my CTE-661. Perhaps you can re-install the Wacom software or your OS devices in Control Panel icons. Best of luck and good outcomes.

Sorry we weren't able to tell the difference between those 2 items. You might want to contact Wacom.

I use this tablet in Photoshop myself, and it does make it a lot easier to do touch ups. You can probably even go with the small tablet if your mainly using it for PS and LR. I don't see this tablet as an overkill, I look at it as another tool to add to my creative flow. If you do decide to purchase the Wacom tablet, I would recommend purchasing the POSRUS surface cover on Amazon. It makes the drawing surface a lot smoother, and it gives it a better feel when it comes in contact with your pen. I hope this helps you out.

Yes, on amazon look at the seller, it should say "wacom" anything you buy from them should be exactly the same as on their main webpage

Yes it is but it won't be pressure sensitive and you won't be able to control the sensitivity. I would suggest paying extra and getting a Wacom if you're serious about digital media.

I personally don't have Windows 8, but usually Wacom updates their software regularly to accommodate new operating systems. The only time they don't is when they no longer support old hardware, which isn't often.
