Customer Review: Concerning Wacoms
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the Intuos 6 x 8 for 4 years now and it has been good. It draws cartoons in Flash well (if I zoom it to at least 200%), and lately I'd been thinking of upgrading to a larger wacom and I've found it really difficult to find a good review anywhere so here is my take on wacoms.I'd always been under the impression that I couldn't draw as well on a 6 x 8 compared to a 9 x 12, but that was purely psychological. The truth is if you zoom in 200% and draw at 200% then the accuracy is just as good as a 9 x 12 wacom at 100% zoom. Only thing is I like to see the whole canvas at one time. I've upgraded now to an Intuos 2 9 x 12 and it works like a dream! Logically it should be no different from a '6 x 8 working at 200% zoom', but somehow the feel of the pen is wonderful, and it draws beautifully and more easily! (or it may just be psychological). For those with 6 x 8 wacoms I found a neat tip that makes them just as good as 9 x 12s (except that the feel is different, or that may just be psychological) and that is, if you change it to the mouse setting, and make the speed to the slowest one possible (turtle), then you should get the same accuracy as a 9 x 12 working at 100% zoom. However because the space is small you'd need to lift the pen when you run out of space. But that doesn't really matter. Actually maybe because my 9 x 12 is an Intuos2 instead of an Intuos (and I don't know the difference between the two), maybe that's why I feel that I like it better. It's hard judging these things. I'd say it's best to find out what works for you.
