Intuos pen+touch small, Bamboo Capture, Create, Huion 8x5 or Huion 1060 Pro? - First tablet newbie Hobbyist

Bamboo Create. It was my first tablet. I got it 5 years ago and it's still fully functional through all the years of wear and tear. It's not a huge one, but it's a nice size for beginners or hobbyists. The pen pressure levels aren't too bad either. It comes with two free art programs for Windows and Mac.

From what I've heard, Huion Tablet are really tough to work with and in most cases people just say that it was a waste of their money. I've heard that trying to install the tablet drivers alone made some people want to rip their hair out. I have the Bamboo Capture, and even though it was a little bit expensive for me it has been a breeze to work with. It runs really well and I even got Photoshop as a free program with it. I've had zero problem thus far.

For your information, this tablet is useful for designers, painters and photographers. It is used as a pen to retouch and paint. There is no much different in the size for beginners. I hope this helped you.

The working area does NOT matter. Trust me on this. Get the small tablet. Reason: you will map the tablet touch sensitive area much smaller than the total space available. Why? Because you really do not want to move your hand all over the tablet when drawing.

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.

Thanks much. I bit the bullet and I just received my Intuos 4. Looking forward to it. Im starting off with Sketchbook Pro and can see how the keys will be very useful once I customize it.Thanks again for the comments.

When I researched my purchase, I found that the most small tablet users preferred the larger size of a medium, and that many Large users said that the Medium is pretty much the perfect size (Unless you are used to drawing or painting on a large canvas). I personally recommend the medium size. However, if you are only using the small for photo touch-ups you'd be fine though. Now as for the difference in tech, you'll have better line variation on the pro, but If I had to choose between size and line depth... Well, I guess I'd go with size. Lots of hours on a cramped drawing interface does not sound productive to me. I recommend ponying up a little more and just getting the Pro Medium, you'll be happy you did. Lastly, the Intous 4 Medium isn't alot different (different finish, no wireless, harder buttons) and can be found cheaper if the price is just a little out of your budget.

storage is just for when you're using it as an android tablet.. it is the amount of space available to android. Android itself takes up several GB of storage space, probably somewhere around 4GB. So if you think you are going to need more than 12 GB space you might want 32GB.this thing isnt that portable and it came out half a year ago, unless you're really n the market for a cintiq right this minute I would suggest skipping the companion hybrid and wait for next gen, or look into surface pro 3 (its out today) or something.

Thank you for you question. There are several differences, a few would be the intuos Pro comes with the wireless kit in box, where the intuos 5 does not. The intuos pro also has improved touch sensor and design. For more information please contact Wacom support: http://us.wacom.com/en/support/

It works good with the sketchbook for android app that I use on a dragon touch 10.1 inch tablet. I haven't finished complete sketches with it yet because of all the features that comes with it, but am able to color scanned or photographed pencil sketches from my portfolio. The only difference I'm unsure of is that I have a screen protector on my tablet and the pen to screen interaction might be a little off if you don't wipe your screen first since the tip is micro fiber. But all in all I think it's a good pen because it has a sharper and more visible point to allow fine long strokes, but depending on your software that can be easily fixed with zoom and a range of point size features.

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

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!

A tablet PC isn't bad for running something like Photoshop if your going surface 2 and if your going to do a lot of 3d you need something from like razor. Bottom line your spending thousands and your limited to a screen 1.5 or 2 times smaller than my yinnova. If your not planning to take it on the go this is way better.

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!

I have not used any Adobe software on my Vivotab. I have SketchBook Pro on it though, and enjoy using the pen very much. The pressure sensitivity allows for a natural feel while drawing. The only occasional issue I have found is the pen and pointer/crosshairs being offset on the screen. I'm not sure if this is with only certain brush styles or not, and it may be able to be adjusted in the settings. Overall I have really enjoyed the experience of drawing directly on the screen rather than on a drawing tablet. I too was concerned about the pen when researching this tablet and considered upgrading to a better pen if it disappointed. For me, this pen is more than sufficient. I do wish the case had a built in pen pocket for it. I end up tucking it in a small pouch in the case to keep the pen with the tablet.

I would suggest going up to the 680 if you are going to school or are thinking of using this more than twice a week, the extra space will help you out so much! However If you are just using it for a hobby or to experiment and do not feel like spending the extra $100 then stick with the 480! Since you have not really told us the reason for wanting a Wacom this is the most we can help you with thus far! Hope some of this helps! Take care.

Hi,Not too sure if there is any improvement over a Bamboo since I never used one, however I have to say that I am very pleased with the performance of the medium Intuos Pro. I find the sensitivity is particularly great when using the adjustment tools in Adobe Lightroom.
