Wacom Cintiq Product Review

[RHughes]

Just wanted to let you guys know that I wrote up a product review of the Wacom Cintiq for Master Digital Color.

It can be found: here (http://masterdigitalcolor.com/?p=452)

Right on. Well done, sir. Informative and personal. I use the portable one- and since I never much used the older pens without the monitor, my hand doesn't feel like it is in the way. It feels totally natural and greatly reduces time.

I really can't wait for the next generation of these though, something that eliminates the bulky cables and box thingy. It would be great if you could get a laptop with one of these built into the bottom, just pull it out and go. But these are really a great improvement over the old school pens.

Thanks! I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinion on it. I've been asked by a couple places to write a Colorist column with tips and how-to's and I want to make sure things are organized and easily readable. So hit me with your opinions on the writing as well as the information. :wink:

I've seen some tablet PC's that are similar to the Ciniq, but you lose a lot of the functionality. The screen would spin and turn so that it would lay down over the keyboard to be drawn on. Give me a Cintiq over that any day.

Thanks! I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinion on it.

I'll need to borrow your cintiq for a year or two to see if you were right about everything. I'll let you know where to send it.

Sure go right ahead. I'll need to a secure a deposit first though. Your first born should do it. :biggrin:

The Cintiq is one of the greatest things I've ever bought in my life.

I wouldn't be able to do my webcomic without it.
