The Intuos5 feels like Wacom's first major attempt to recreate the experience of working with canvas. It's possible to gesture when necessary, draw when not, and work more gracefully without keyboards and extra accessories. We can't wait to see how Wacom...
Abstract: If you use a product like Adobe Photoshop, or Corel Painter, and you are not using a pen tablet, then you don't really understand what you are missing. A pen tablet allows you much more control than you can get with a mouse. It gives you much more effi...
Beautifully textured drawing surface. 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity. New, programmable capacitive buttons. Available in three sizes. Robust software bundle. Takes special advantage of Photoshop, Lightroom, and Maya.
Pen grip attracts dust and lint. Duo button is still too easy to press. Multitouch gesture accuracy trails that of a good laptop trackpad. Wireless kit is optional

The redesigned Wacom Intuos5 fixes some drawbacks from the already-excellent previous version, plus adds multitouch operation to an already impressive bag of input tricks
There's still no interface for sharing/migrating saved settings or allowing third parties to provide preconfigured application-specific settings. Also, the heads-up display trigger is a little too sensitive
Though it doesn't add any new graphics-specific capabilities over its predecessor, the Wacom Intuos5 input tablet remains a must-have for digital brushworkers.
Addition of multitouch support makes Wacom's most popular input tablet even more capable. Ambidextrous design with the option to go wireless. New headsup display on the ExpressKeys reminds you of your settings in an instant. All the settings and gestures
Touch features lack the accuracy and responsiveness of the input pen. Coated plastic surface doesn't come close to the feel of glass. Smoothness of gesturebased input is inconsistent
