What is the take on this VS Wacom

I have never used a Wacom, but this is so worth the price. Nothing can beat it.

Well any Wacom Tablet can be used, and so can a few non Wacom tablets as well. If you want value the Wacom Bamboo Splash CTL471 is a good fit, however it lacks any customization buttons besides the two pen buttons. the CTL471 will run you around $80 but I got mine for $64.24 here on amazon. Now the next model up, the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 will run you about $100 ($83.24 here on amazon at the moment) and it comes with 4 programmable buttons which can help you in the long run. It is also marketed more towards photo editing and comes with Photoshop Elements (its a older version, but Photoshop Elements 11 is $100 by itself so you're getting a deal.) So I would go with the Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Tablet CTH470 for the most value and to start you off for what you want to do. I bought the Splash because I want to use it mostly for drawing. Still, any Wacom Product is idea for photographers in my opinion.

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!

No it doesn't its just the program.....so you'd have to buy a tablet...I recommend a wacom tablet.

Going from the Wacom Intuose (previously the bamboo) to the Intuos Pro was every bit worth it. Some may not realize just how much of a difference there is between 1024 and 2048 levels of pressure but it is night and day! The level of control I get out of the pro version blows me away. I don't do work in CS6 as I switched from That to Manga Studio 5 and Paint Tool Sai for my artwork but I am 100% sure it will make a huge difference in PS just the same as those programs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you can afford the Pro, don't waste your money on anything less.

With all the other types of "note taking" devices on the market, I wouldn't recommend the Wacom Inkling as a "note taker" because its design is geared more towards sketching, then using that sketch in a software graphics program... Everyone is different when it comes to "note taking"; personally, I find it easier to just use a recording device (digital or tape, your choice), then playing back the recording later on to pull out the key points of what the speaker presented... Scribbling notes, for me at least, while someone is lecturing or giving a talk takes my attention away from what is being presented at the moment... In the end, as I'm sure you understand, the choice is yours... Good luck and happy note taking...!

Well the Tap is more comparable to an iPad for starters, it has a processes and runs software. The Cintiq 12WX needs to be hooked to a computer... I'm sure the Cintiq has greater pressure sensitivity... but this really is like comparing apples to oranges.

I haven't and I've been using it for 3 years. If you're experiencing lag, try reinstalling the updated driver software from the Wacom website.

Wacom is the best what you can get, she will be really satisfied. It has no competition! I have iMac 27" that is why I bought Medium size. But S is also good choice for editing. I bought Intuos4 because Intuos5 is still pretty expensive. Difference is between few not REQUIRED functions. I think she will be very happy with this product ;)

ohhh, thats a hard question since I don't have experience with the Wacom Cintiq. As far as I know I don't think you can use this tablet the same as a Wacom. If you have the link of someone saying it could be a good alternative, please send it over. This tablet can not be used as a Wacom for Adobe Illustrator on Windows/Mac OS (As far as I know) for example. You will have to depend on the Android drawing software available, like Quill, NoteScript, etc. The Wacom Cintiq is for professional illustrators, I don't think you should get this for this kind of professional work, at least, not without knowing the Android software you want to use for that.

I don't really understand the question. I bought the pen because I misplaced the original one that came with a Wacom tablet I haven't tried it yet.

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.

I would agree with Chris Frenzy. Great to introduce you to a graphic pen/tablet. I also mainly use with Photoshop, but so far with Illustrator we haven't experienced any problems. It definitely does the job!

Sorry. This is a stylus for iPads or similar tablets with drawing apps, not Wacom tablets.

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

No, Wacom is a completely different brand of tablet, whilst asus is a windows product. Don't risk it unless you happen to know someone that owns this pen so you can test it first.

I use the Boogie Board Rip and don't think it can be used as an alternative input for a PC. You can capture sketches and drawings, but not in "real time"...the Wacom gives you an immediate pen-based input on your PC or Mac.
