Digital camera reviews of Wacom Graphire Bluetooth 6 x 8-Inch Tablet

Digital camera Review: A fantastic bluetooth device
Summary: 5 Stars

My Thoughts after struggling with the whole Wacom intuos v. graphire decision.

1. If you use multiple monitors... I would strongly suggest getting the 6x8 size or higher. Even if you have a widescreen 15inch.. the 6x8 would probably be better because you loose about an inch (5x8 useable area) if you lock your tablet dimensions to your screen dimensions (which I highly suggest)

2. The bluetooth is probably the smart move in the long run. You don't need to worry about the cable ever fraying or shorting out... and if you need to use the wireless capability... you will have it.

3. I can't imagine needing more than 512 pressure levels. I've ued this thing with photoshop and the pressure sensitivity is very fluid. I also couldn't imageing needing to have my tablet sense what my pencil tilt is.

4. This thing works flawlessly on my MacBook Pro. I have never noticed any jumpiness or slowness at all. The Wacom drivers are Universal Binaries.

5. The Mac drivers for this thing are great... you can set the tablet and pen buttons to do almost anything -- including execute keyboard combinations. You can set the useable area of the tablet and adjust pen sensitivity. I have never used a bluetooth device that had such good OS level support.

6. The power light flickers from blue to green depending on the usage... It's almost as cool as my backlit keyboard.
