How does it compare to similarly priced Wacom tablets?

I did try a Wacom tablet and another brands too, and I'm very happy with the Genius tablet. I'm using it with adobe Photoshop and eElements, and this tablet performs very professional, and has a very affordable price.

I do not own a Wacom tablet, The Genius EasyPen Tablet runs a Window 7 operating system and I got with my tablet Corel Painter Essential 4 with it. It comes with its own software to use right away the software to set the tablet and pen up is easy to understand. Bashar I would recommend it for the software alone and the tablet works great. I am not an expert in Graphic Tablets, Wacom seems to be popular too, I looked at the tablets on Amazon and I am pleased with my purchase.

No, Wacom is a completely different brand of tablet, whilst asus is a windows product. Don't risk it unless you happen to know someone that owns this pen so you can test it first.

Thanks for your answers. If there's a Wacom rep reading this, do you know of any plans to develop more types of tips? I really liked the multiple tips & styli when I used them for my Wacom tablet (bought 6 yrs ago) & there would definately be a market for them. :-)

Hi. I returned my Wacom Stylus because it would not work despite the Wacom info that said it would work. BTW, My Tablet is an Asus vivoTab. I will say that I was very disappointed with the purchase mainly because it was so hard to even find the website for tech questions. Also, the contact for questions never returned my emails regarding my issues. As such, I would say that there are better choices than Wacom.

Greed...If you buy from the Wacom Company directly you can save hundreds of dollars..The thing is, is that Wacom has really strict shipping standards and if your outside of those standards your out of luck...Who ever is selling this is just gouging off the would be clients who can not purchase it directly from Wacom. I would be careful to, Wacom just had a recall for bad power ports on the companion style tablet as seen..and the warranty to have it replaced is only covered if you buy it from Wacom, thats to the best of my knowledge...so if by chance...these arent the fixed ones... you could be down 500$ + out of a warranty + a brick...

I use this tablet in Photoshop myself, and it does make it a lot easier to do touch ups. You can probably even go with the small tablet if your mainly using it for PS and LR. I don't see this tablet as an overkill, I look at it as another tool to add to my creative flow. If you do decide to purchase the Wacom tablet, I would recommend purchasing the POSRUS surface cover on Amazon. It makes the drawing surface a lot smoother, and it gives it a better feel when it comes in contact with your pen. I hope this helps you out.

I have never used a Wacom, but this is so worth the price. Nothing can beat it.

Although tablets are wonderful to work with, if you've never used one before, I reccomend getting a cheaper one before splurging on a really high-end model that you might not end up liking. Graphire3's or 4's are pretty cheap, and you get a really decent tablet for that price. It gives you a launching pad, something cheap to practice with before you commit yourself fully to an expensive one.

My daughter uses her wacom cintiq daily and uses the adobe photoshop software suite for her art. She never actually used the included software as she didn't like it. She loves the tablet and the adobe photoshop software. I believe she has a subscription to adobe which she purchased through amazon.

I've had that slick problem with the 12WX. The companion's screen has a bit of texture on it and the feel is a huge improvement if you draw slow. It doesn't really help you if you draw fast. HOWEVER, Wacom has "Hard Felt Nibs" available separately (5-pack for $5). It adds a lot of friction and gives you the feel of drawing with a pencil on paper. Switch out some those extra standard nibs in the pen case with some felt ones, and you'll be good! I use my felt nibs for digital inking and painting where I need to be slower and precise, and then switch back to the standard nib for sketching where I need more fluid movement. In the old Cintiq, I needed the Felt nib on all the time even for just sketching, and since they wear down, I needed a new pack of felt nibs every 18 months, but it's just like restocking pencils, so it's okay. Oh, and if you go with the felt nibs on the Companion, first use leaves trails of dust that looks like screen scratches. They clean off easily with the wiping cloth that comes with the Companion.

I'm pretty sure you can get around that by downloading the driver directly. Try doing a search for them. The tablet will work plug and play, but with fewer features I think. I actually downloads some Wacom drivers too, based on something I read on a forum. Short answer-- it shouldn't be a problem.

Bamboo Capture. It was my first tablet. I got it 5 years ago and it's still fully functional through all the years of wear and tear. It's not a huge one, but it's a nice size for beginners or hobbyists. The pen pressure levels aren't too bad either. It comes with two free art programs for Windows and Mac.

I don't really understand the question. I bought the pen because I misplaced the original one that came with a Wacom tablet I haven't tried it yet.

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet. Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

I would have to say yes, although I'm just an art student, so I'm still in learning, however, even so, I do like this tablet. Especially because of the smaller version of the big 24hd. As an art student, I have to carry it for work to school and back, so it's perfect for me. Even for home I simply love it. It's comfortable to work on it on a table, or on your lap, or however you want. Good luck with your choice! :)

I use this stylus on my Surface Pro 2 and it is the best mainly because of the tips smooth feel against the glass. Surface Pro 2 uses Wacom Tech despite Microsoft trying to obscure this fact. You may be happy with just the Black(non-Carbon Fiber) unit as Carbon Fiber serves no value in this product other than looks. Plus the Black unit is half the price and just as functional.

do a search for axiotron wacom on ebay, same model but with two buttons on the side. It's about 9 bucks with a bunch of different nibs included.
