 Tablet for designers August 27, 2008
The 4x6 wide format tablet is great when working with a wide-screen monitor, and has performed very well in making clipping paths and drawing in illustrator so much easier. Using it within the filesystem takes some getting used to, and there is a little bit of jitter in using the pen, but once you get a hang of it, you'll find it may actually increase your efficiency.
My only gripe is that I wish I would have gotten a wireless version, as it is the only input on my desk that is still tethered with a cord.
Don't shy away from the small tablet August 7, 2008

I got this tablet b/c I was experiencing RSI. I'm an interactive designer, I was used to the larger tablets and I thought this one might be too small. NOT TRUE. This little guy is just as accurate on a large display as the bigger models. What's even better is that you don't "move the pain to your shoulder" which is common for the larger tablets.

The 4x6 Intuos3 is a great device for those starting a college curriculum in graphic design or digital photography. It is easy to set up, and very easy to figure out. The pen is extraordinarily comfortable and heavy enough to feel like a real pen/pencil/brush depending on what you are used to. For me, the active area (light gray rectangle in the photo) is too small, but I am used to working on on paper sizes of at least 24x36. So there was some adaption time. The active area maps to any screen size easily. I use this device on a 12.1 inch widescreen (aspect ratio of 16:10) and a 19 inch screen (4:3) and it maps instantly.
The device is built very well. The tablet is very solid, the pen is as well. The mouse, however, is too light and incredibly square as well as being tied to the active area on the tablet. But as so many have said before, you aren't buying this for the mouse.
The price is the singular set back. It is not a cheap device but that is more than likely due to the included software. Mine came with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 (Windows) and Photoshop Elements 4 (Mac) each being $80 or more retail. The software CD also has a striped version of Nik's Color Efex plug-ins for Photoshop. The problem with this software inclusion is that most people buying this product have the big-boy version of Adobe's Photoshop in some way. A software-free version of this hardware should be made available.
Either way, this is a fantastic peripheral.
I couldn't live without it! June 3, 2008

I have had my Wacom Intuos 3 for three years now. I don't know how I ever lived without one. Once you get the hang of it you will never touch a mouse again. It makes any paint program a thrill to use. The eraser, is where it should be, on the top of the pen. It even has a nib with a little spring in it that mimics the feel of a brush.
Last year I had to learn Corel Draw. I had the need to vector images. Boy, does this help. I don't know how you can pull a node with a mouse. The black felt tip nib is great for this use.
Don't hesitate to buy this thing. I have the smallest size and I find it works great for me.
The only worthwhile graphics tablet on the market. May 29, 2008
This thing is incredible. The customizable/scrolling buttons are an extra plus, but the pressure sensitivity is the really impressive feature. It was an awkward adjustment at first, but now that I'm used to doing my graphics work with it, I couldn't live without it. Worth every penny, especially if you can catch it for around $200. Of course, the bigger the better!
