Drawing/graphical tablet - TechSaavy - 01-15-2014

I was browsing the local electronics shop, when I suddenly found this: [Link]

My question is, have anyone here any experience with these kind of devices?
Is it worth buying it?

If you own one of these, it would be nice if you named some pros and cons about them.

Some friends of mine, have similar stuff, if you really want to get into web design, it's really a must have since it helps you for example on free drawing.
I'd suggest Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop and one of those = success Biggrin

Good Luck Wink

I find these to be wonderful, but I use it for digital drawing not the usual GFX tasks. However, some of the most amazing works I've ever seen have been created using one of those and photoshop. I would recommend starting out with a cheaper one to begin with, so you get used to what it's like to navigate with one. That way, if you decide you don't like it, you won't have lost out on much (some of those come with extortionate prices!) It comes pretty naturally like using a mouse. However, in photoshop etc, the ability to use pressure with the pen can be insanely useful.
Although, not all of them are the same of course, so you may have a good experience with one, and not the other.

Most of this boils down to what you'd use it for... And I doubt you'll be using them for what I use them for so I'll leave my feedback to that xD I considered creating a pro's and cons list but to be honest, mine is biased to one type of work - sorry!

Wacom makes great graphic tablets, and if you do digital graphics work, I would definitely reccomend buying one.
