Wacom Graphic Tablets - Intuos Art vs Intuos Pro vs Bamboo vs...

When a professional makes a review compared when kids with money make reviews

[@iwatchyoutubetoomuch2013]

@Coneco I feel sad that they didn't reply to you so.. Hi

[@seriousCADninja]

Man damn the first proper and honest review I ever heard, with critical thinking! No stupid nonsense or just reading the features from the manufacturer... Thank you! I wish I see more of these videos. Instead of the mindless or payed reviews from other youtubers.

[@trash5709]

[@aleskotnik1621]

you read my mind

[@RuudKuin]

Exactly my thoughts, this review/comparison is just what I was looking for. Thanks Milos!

[@JakubKarczynski]

I am a tech user for years. Never posted a comment on youtube. I'm not into this. But today I had to. You should get hired to make reviews. VERY IMPRESSIVE. Less than 9min and the range goes from newbie users to advanced tips that matters, all backed up with serious tests. Never seen a condensed review so good all categories put together ! Thank you

[@Tech-Guy]

Thank you Jakub for the kind words! I appreciate it.

[@decrodedart2688]

Right!

[@BlankIdea02]

You helped me, a 15 year old artist trying to draw and design stuff, and you made me save 100 dollars of my hard earned cash. I now have 100 dollars spair that I got by working at a dairy farm.

[@Tech-Guy]

Nice! I am glad I could help!

[@toddsennholtz7305]

Thank you Tech Guy for such an honest review! My favorite line: "Is the $300 tablet better than the $80 one? Sure. Especially if paid $300 for it and now need a confirmation that you made the right decision." Ha!... but in all seriousness, it was really helpful to see these tablets in action and now I feel like I can make an informed decision! Thanks again!

[@Tech-Guy]

I am glad it was helpful. Cheers

[@ufone8710]

Just curious, but which drawing tablet did you end up buying Todd?

[@GabeSerrano]

I came for a Wacom tablet review. I got the best damn review of any product anyone has ever uploaded to youtube.

[@gees.daniel]

Dude this is like the best review I have ever seen on KZbin. And I have seen a lot of reviews in my life

[@kamichikora6035]

Facts

[@brandonstacker3378]

This is the best review of anything on KZbin. I like your discussion on conformation bias. So very true.

[@rossgeography]

This video is AWESOME - thanks for taking the time and breaking it down :)

[@ndbiet]

A wacom tablet sure is expensive but the build quality is great, had mine for 5 years and i hasnt fail me once, and it was a used one for years before too. Its a intous 4 pro Medium side and i just ended up disable all the side button because it get in my way sometime.

[@tanglingheadphones]

I agree. My Intuos 3 lasted 10 years. Amazing build quality.

[@MrSveis]

Wow! I usually don’t comment, but I’m blown away by the quality of your review! God job and thank you!

[@thechisensei]

u r probably the first guy who takes the word 'tech' like seriously. great great great review!!! keep it up!

[@orlandoreyes6855]

this is for sure the best review I've ever watched and definitely the best straight foward speech from one.

[@filipe8932]

Dude, thank you! I've been having a hard time trying to figure out which tablet to buy, getting completely lost on all the numbers and whatnot. Your video broke it down to what really matters and even went beyond and made comparisons to show that the marketed features don't always translate into the drawing.

[@bluesash10]

BEST review I've seen on ANY product in a LONG time. Thank you SO much!!! You just saved me $200!!

[@ZeroStrife1396]

"Should you get a wireless dongle? As if 100ms latency was not enough" That line made me laugh more than it probably should have.

[@stef7321]

Awesome video, I’ve trawled around for a few days, it’s been hard to find out what really differentiates these devices, big fan of the no nonsense approach! Thanks!

[@officialpatrick1]

Thank you Tech Guy, this is the info I have been searching for, for a month. I was trying to see what all these different features meant and if the differences were noticeable. You just saved me about $200!

[@mattypusplatypus3340]

Looking into getting my first graphic tablet, and was leaning towards the Intuos Pro. This has given me a lot of food for thought. Very helpful, thanks! :)

[@panthakurai5267]

Brilliant vid; one of the best reviews I've seen so far. Good detailed description ^_^

[@bielsabas4407]

This is INCREDIBLY helpful. Thank you so much. This detailed review of these specific products is exactly what I've been looking for.

[@Tech-Guy]

Thanks! I am glad it was helpful to you.

[@crimsama2451]

tbh I'd like to see how newer graphics tablets from other companies stack up. I've heard they've improved but I'd love to see it broken down by someone who knows what they're doing.

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

I guess only the touch of the surface has improved, while the drawing quality remains the same, and might not be any less than a Wacom Intuos Pro.

[@crimsama2451]

What i meant was like a Huion or monoprice tablet compared to the wacom intuos and bamboo.

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

Crimson Lust Yeah. I guess the strokes those tablets can produce are as good as a Wacom tablet. The only difference is how the touch feels. I've used a tablet that the stylus is super springy, which might be helpful for in some situation, but mostly just doesn't feel like a real pen. The reason I choose Wacom over other tablets back when I get one is, the stylus doesn't require battery, and it feels more like paper when I'm drawing on it, rather than that the Wacom one has higher spec or something. If you are getting a pen screen then, well, Huion is way cheaper than Wacom. But, for entry level "off-screen" tablets, I would consider it worthwhile to spend the extra money on a Wacom one.

[@curecure7128]

Like you I think it would have been much more interesting if the comparison was between Wacom and Huion.. Now, I don't really have a problem with selling a graphics tablet with good build quality for an expensive price, but it's absolutely inexcusable to try to sell the wireless adapter separately like if the market is still the same from a decade ago and include bare minimum specs just to differentiate your products (pro vs non-pro).. Take Huion's Giano tablet for example, it is priced for 160 dollars The build quality is excellent! The active area is Huge! The touch sensitivity is double the bamboo (non-Pro intuos) 12 keys Runs on wireless (the battery lasts for 40 hours per charge and the charging is simply plug the usb while drawing) And the only downside is that the pen has a rechargeable battery which lasts for 400 hours of actual drawing before you need to recharge it's simply astonishing to me that Wacom is still asking 199 dollars for the "medium" sized bamboo tablet, it's downright insane to go for it instead of Huion tablets (I've also heard of Ugee tablets, but the most well known with good support and drivers is Huion). There are plenty of reviews in youtube for the Giano graphics tablet if you're interested, I would much love to recommend Wacom tablet but the asking price vs the included specs just can't be justified with the current market.

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

Cure Cure Yeah, Wacom tablet surely is quite expensive, but, at least Bamboo CTL-471 is still the smallest tablet available. I guess the size is also just a personal choice. I'm fine with small tablet since it's easier to draw long strokes with. As for wireless module, well, I'd say, Wacom seems to be quite "greedy" at selling peripherals... A stylus of CTL-471 would cost $25 while the tablet itself is just $50. And the strangest thing is, well, a pack of 5 spring nibs would cost $15... I know it's not easy to build, but... really, that expensive? So does the wireless module... Well, at least I don't have to use that.

[@crunchynut0007]

Thank you, this was exactly what I was hoping to find - direct comparisons of performance and facts. Perfect, and very helpful! (Subscribed!)

[@hyacinth-sh7qx]

thank you for the HONEST review! the best review in wacom tablets ive seen!

This is all fine and I applaud you for taking the time to lay down some first person experience for someone less experienced, but you seem to have completely omitted some details that may not make a difference to you, but certainly make a huge difference to a lot of others. You have covered pen pressure as something that doesn't make a huge difference to you, even though you don't do much 2D painting. I can imagine someone doing serious digital painting in something like Corel Painter would have a different opinion on the matter. Input lag is a huge deal and you tested it correctly... On the other hand, you completely ignored the digitizer resolution, or "movement resolution", the DPI or LPI number associated with the digitizer. I am a 2D artist/painter for a video game company, and I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun M (CTH-670) at work, and a Wacom Intuos3 A5 (PT-630) at home. Both have similar drawing surface sizes and comparable 1024 pressure level styluses with similar lag... However, the older Intuos can resolve 5080 DPI, while the Bamboo does 2540 DPI. The difference, to a painter, is literally NIGHT AND DAY. The amount of detail I can squeeze out of my Intuos is extraordinary, adn painting at work feels like a chore in comparison, even though it is perfectly serviceable for the task at hand. Again, I didn't mean to fault your findings, just mention some things that are definitely worth considering in terms of deciding on a proper tablet for personal use.

[@Tech-Guy]

My opinion is that that is also a marketing trick. 2540 lpi multiplied by 5.3inches of the M Intuos height makes resolution of 13462 individual positions on that height. Considering that our screens are much less than that all extra resolution is unused, but it looks good in specs sheet. That is why I think it is an overkill. I did not notice the difference, but where I notice the difference is with different tablet surfaces. I feel I loose resolution when working on non-smooth surface, as I can move the pen over the tablet surface from a microscopic valley, over a bump, to another valley, and that is the minimum resolution of the tablet. Also, if I draw on my 13 inch tabletPC with 1080p resolution, I have only that 1080/8inch resolution, which is 135 dpi. No matter what the resolution is, I cannot position cursor on any area smaller than a pixel. I also cannot make any motion as small as 1px at that resolution. Try getting another surface cover for your Fun M and see if there is any difference.

I don't see what the screen resolution has to do with the resolution of the digitizer. More lines per inch on the digitizer picks up more subtle details of each pen stroke no matter what the resolution or the zoom factor on the screen is. I agree with you on the loss of detail due to the roughness of the surface, but both the Intuos and the Bamboo have a smooth drawing sheet, and since the Intuos is older, it even has more scratches and rough patches. It still feels twice as precise. Again - this is all from a standpoint of a digital painter and photographer/retoucher. I have a friend who paints in Painter and she loves to paint "from the elbow"... so she got the Intuos3 A3 a few years ago because nothing less satisfied her style. It's all highly subjective and relative.

[@FoxGhost7]

This completely disregards that the stylus and the canvas don't interact on the display resolution level. And thank god or curves drawn at full zoom on a 20MP+ canvas would look absolutely horrible.

[@Tech-Guy]

It is highly subjective, as you said. Sometimes I would use the pro and without thinking take cheap bamboo the next time and not even notice the difference. I am almost certain that the drive intereacts in screen coordinate space, so whateve the resoulution, the tablet API tranlates the input in screen coordinates. Software has to interpolate anyway. Digitizer works as 133 updates per second, so if you draw 1330 px in 1 second you would have a circle every 10 px, but you don't, exactly because the software interpolates. It also interpolates if you use 10% zoom, relative to screen space.

[@Tech-Guy]

Please read my previous reply. The software interpolates. It is easy to test: map large area of the tablet to small screen area, then zoom out a lot, and then draw a nice 1cm circular stroke (which will be 3-4 pixels in screen space). Now zoom in to 100%: If it works in screen space, the circle will be crappy, if it works at tablet resolution, you will have nice circle.

[@OliverHarrison]

Fantastic summary. Your candid opinions are refreshing and very appreciated.

[@Tech-Guy]

Thanks!

[@Kelly-Bean23]

Really great insight. I'm planning on buying one soon, since I'll be upgrading from my old bamboo (which is about 9 years old and has received lots of love) and now I'm in college for graphic design. I'm pretty excited though

Nice. I am glad it was helpful. Cheers!

[@peacebewu]

Thanks for this. I was looking for a review that has the tablet and the monitor/screen at the same shot when drawing so I have more of a solid idea of the response rate.

[@saruttaa2501]

that moment when the cheaper tablet has a faster reaction time lmfao

[@JB-xi5ek]

Hi thanks for a well presented commentary. Near the end I opine it seemed that there may be a drawing aid with an actual screen on, that is not the usual blamk area to send marks to the screen, if this so, please advise the model details. Thanks and regards, JB

[@Tech-Guy]

Thanks! At the end I am using Microsoft Surface Studio, and for laptop HP Spectre X360 (13 or 15 inch models), but there are many other 2-in-1 laptop/tablets that have an active pen with pressure sensitivity and full Windows 10. I have not used off-brand low cost screens with styluses yet

[@djamel-arbouche]

Perfect video, straight to the point, and that truly helps making a choice. Many thanks !

[@Jennifer-wr9si]

Superlike. This is one of the different and useful videos I've seen on drawing tablets. Now I'm reconsidering getting the new Intuos Pro and just sizing up my Intuos Art to Medium... I actually like the drawing surface :)

[@Keviamaya]

They're both great. The art surface is really glossy and feels a bit more plastic than the pro surface but they do the same job. Also the pen for the pro feels better and more "real" but that's more like a personal thing. you should also look at huion if you dig the wacom art surface :P

I actually have the bamboo tablet (I'm not an artist but a hobbyist) so it was good to see that I've bought the right one. I mean, it's good enough for me and it's not terrible frames/pressure wise so unless you want to get nitty gritty, it's great!

[@messieurbonkers]

I have the UgeeM1780 (i think that's what they call them...) i recommend getting it. It has 8 Express keys, 2000+ resolution, not expensive, and a large drawing surface. Its so easy to use! Also works with the lefty's and righty's and works with almost drawing programs! And thanks for the review!

[@balletartist6417]

I love how u think. It literally doesn't matter what platform you have, how much pressure ur pen has, or how big ur screen is, it's about your own artist skill. All those things don't define how good of an artist you are..

[@feintzprod]

Getting the Intuos Pro for Christmas, in-fact we already have it; I just haven't used it yet. This is my first graphics tablet, I'm hoping to really enjoy it.

[@kubectlgetpo]

Refreshingly technically deep and awesome arguments! Subbed because you mentioned cognitive dissonance as well!!

[@wcar6117]

Really great video! To the point and informative! I have the medium art pen touch, and was looking to see if there was any useful difference for me between it and the pro. Your review confirmed there's not enough difference for me to upgrade any time soon. If I ever come to have an extra 2 grand to spare I'd like to get the surface studio, but not needing it now. I actually enjoy the sort of matte texture of the intuos art, feels like drawing on paper (albeit with a sort of dragging heavy pen). I like it.

[@Tech-Guy]

Thanks! I am glad you liked it. Unless you need the tilt, I do not think there is a reason for you to upgrade to pro. If there was any performance difference I would go the pro route, but just a tilt and 2048 pressure levels are not enough in my opinion. I have only tried Surface Studio but as you said, I do not need it now. By the way, today is a sale of Clip Studio Paint, my favorite drawing program, so you might want to check it out. I think it starts from $25 and it really delivers a lot more from the Wacom tablets.

[@s.frohlich8115]

Thanks a lot for this great video. I just tested an Intuos Art, but the surface and sound was a clearly a no go. Would you still recommend the Intuos 3 as the best choice regarding surface and sound? I am looking for an tablet in a Win10 environment with Coreldraw as the main tool. A touch functionality would be a plus. Thanks a lot!

[@FIREBREATHER1012]

The thing that sold me on the intuos art is that it comes with free software that I know will be compatible

[@EduardPantazi]

Great video. I just bought an older One by Wacom tablet and for me is enough this tablet. Before i buy it i compare it with Intuos Art, thinking that Intuos will make my workflow better, but after seeing this video i'm not worried about the specs of my old tablet wich was much cheaper.

[@storminnine8362]

I'm looking for a tablet to use in online meetings. I need something thats as intuitive to use as drawing/writing on a piece of paper, something with an experience that is as close to writing on the screen as possible. What would be your suggestion ?

[@mequable]

Intuos 3 tablet - this tablet has worked for me for almost 10 years and just recently broke and had to be retired. Excellent tablet. I even replaced the pen tip once or twice during that time just because I wanted to see if there was a difference, overall the thing didn't require any replacement (unlike nowadays it seems). I'm curious whether or not newer wacoms perform that long. Your video made me wonder should I strive to buy the Pro tablet or stick with the cheaper ones as I don't think I need tilt and the bamboo I temporarily use now serves me well. Now I'm really confused.

[@DSpoiled]

excellent review, thank you! I would love to see a video comparing tablets Pc and graphic tablets!

[@Trid3nt861]

the bamboo line is just a refresh of the graphire tablet line from Wacom. The intuos line is sort of a light version of the actual intuos small, medium and large family. Just got the large intuos pro 2015/2016 model used from ebay for cheap, is nice though the touch gestures are a nice feature they can get in the way at times. My first tablet was a graphire 4, upgraded to a intuos 3 small(Which I use to this day and has taken many drops amd a small doda spill), then a intuos 4 small ( gave it to a friend as I didnt like it much), then upgraded to a 12wx cintiq (gifted it to my nephew once I got the next upgrade), Got a used 21ux 2nd gen and then the intuos pro large (both I am using to this day), I also got the wireless accessory to make the intuos wireless.

[@ZBeckley23]

[@darkautumnstories5834]

I use a Bamboo CTH460, the one seen in this video, and I seriously have no problems with it at all. If I were to upgrade I'd rather save up for something in the coupla hundo mark.

[@fmy77]

Mine's better CTH 661 :P I'm pretty satisfied. I may only upgrade because it's hard to find spare parts for reasonable prices as it's very old.

[@darkautumnstories5834]

I've never seen things as better or worse. Like most people have a smart phone. I have a simple flip phone. As long as it can do what I need it to do then that's all that matters to me really lol.

[@darkautumnstories5834]

I don't think that using a stylus from a different tablet would work but I'm not sure. You can probably pick one up on Amazon for pretty cheap. I suggest doing a little research on the matter first but I'm pretty sure that most Wacom pens are not cross compatible. I just looked on Amazon but they don't currently sell that particular stylus. It may be worth just considering the possibility of an upgrade. It all depends on your price range. I mean sure you can find the stylus for your tablet on Ebay from between 18-25 dollars but that's half of the price of an upgrade. The exact same tablet goes for about $30-$50 these days depending on where you shop but that's really not worth it for the sake of a lost pen when a Wacom CTL-471 costs around 54 GBP. I've used a CTL-471 before and had no problems with it. There are a lot of options to consider before you decide. Keep me updated =)

[@mulderdyla]

Haha I loved this video. Great work! I couldn't agree more. I had been thinking I needed to 'upgrade ' (secretly just because I want to buy something new and shiney) when in fact sticking with my bamboo is probably good as gold. I think ill stay with the small size days I do the same as u at reducing the outer dimensions even smaller to stay away from the edge. It makes so much sense to me, but I look around and the gist is that I should upgrade to a larger surface area.

[@Tech-Guy]

Thanks. Trying new version might be good for the creative process, and forces you to adapt and adjust, but also because of that adjustment period the output results may suffer. Sometimes because of forcing ourselves to adjust we become better, so it is not that the upgraded tool is better, but we become better.

[@alchymista2]

in the world over saturated with lengthy blabbering "reviews" which are just repeating the specs you can read on web this was very nice and effective review, many thanks!

[@haseebmalik5952]

Thank you so much for a very informative comparison. it helped a lot.

[@JQ24]

Great honest review! I like how you break down the technical aspects to help decide it is important or not. I was trying to decide between the Intuos Art or Intuos Pro but decided to go with the Art instead. I'm curious about what you think of drawing on tablet PCs vs using a drawing tablet. I'm looking to upgrade my laptop to a tablet PC and have been considering the HP Spectre x360. Is the quality and drawing experience the same? I read and saw that the Spectre had some jittering when drawing with slow strokes.

[@audacide]

Thank you for clarifying this. It is as I suspected, more bells and whistles to jack up the price of the intuos over the bamboo. I picked up my 6 x 9 bamboo fun at the pawn shop for 40 bucks and I think it's just dandy. 2000+ levels of sensitivity is probably unnecessary. I particularly liked your comment about cognitive disonence. Also, your sculptural work is amazing!

[@alainkoningverdraag6698]

Thank you for this awesome informative video. Would you still reccomend an intuos3 in 2018 for a beginner - compared to, for example, Huion tablets such as the Q11K for about the same cost?

That's what I call a professional review! That's right, everything is hidden in advertising and the truth is that the end result can be achieved even with a cheaper and not very new tablet model!

Great and honest video! Can you help me? I'm currently looking forward to buy a graphic tablet for the first time.. I need it to start my business in art industries. Most of the designs need to be done in vector.. I'm thinking to buy a cintiq, but damn man I may can't afford it.. I like cintiq because it is on the screen so it will be more precise.. Can you give me suggestion on which model should i use? including size and other details...

[@7justfun]

I want to create Math and coding educational training videos for youtube for now.Can you please suggest an option for me. This is the primary purpose , but later i may want to use it for storyboarding too.

[@Tech-Guy]

If you are drawing while talking the important thing will be the sound of pen on a tablet, so it does not get picked by microphone. Older Intuos 3 is the quietest; new intuos is the loudest when drawing the pen over the surface, and a tabletPC does not make any drawing sound but you can hear the tip of the pen hitting the glass.

[@AlvaroTalavera]

I love my intuos3 !!!! I had the chance to upgrade since intuos4 came out but i never made up my mind because it just works so nice!

I would like to buy a digitizer for tracing and sketching in autocad. I am an architecture student and I intend to buy one that I am going to use it after school but in a reasonable price. Considering that I need the tilt which digitizer should I get?

[@cuearesty]

Is there an update to this?

[@alaisl.5572]

Great review! When I'm gonna upgrade from my intuos art (my old bamboo just died), I'd jump straight to a cintiq since intuos pro really doesn't do that much of a difference.

Excellent review. I have the Wacom Intuos 3 but it is no longer recognized on windows 10. I was about to buy the Large Intuos Pro but after watching your video, I’ll get the Intuos Art.

[@Tech-Guy]

I can confirm that Intuos 3 works on WIndows 10. Open Device manager and remove all HID related to pen or tablet digitizer, remove all wacom drivers and after restarting just install latest wacom driver. That should fix it

[@al2cl3]

After some research, I found a way to make it work. The "Wacom Tablet Properties" app wasn't recognizing my Wacom Intuos 3 at all using the latest drivers and after using your solution. The only way it worked for me was to use an old driver (Driver 6.3.11-4a).

[@Tech-Guy]

That is strange, but hey, it worked out. Good to know if my stops working. Intuos 3 is still my fav tablet as it is smooth and soundless... although the rubber and plastic on styluses has disintegrated.

[@al2cl3]

Yeah the rubber on my stylus is almost gone. I might use some heat shrink tubing on it to make it last a little longer.

[@Tech-Guy]

Good idea!

Hi dude. Thank you for your review. But I am not really sure which tablet shoul I use? I am looking for something which I can use for drawing and also for editing photos. I was thinking about Wacom Draw but isn´t have touch. So will be better Wacom Art or Photo? thank you :)

[@Tech-Guy]

Only "Draw" is different. Art and Photo are the same, just different software comes with each.

I have practically no input lag from my CTH470 (an old model discontinued from the wacom store) I think a large factor has to do with computer speeds and display resolution. Its seamless when I am working from my laptop but when I project on a larger monitor the lag is about 0.1s, very noticeable Have you tried using these tablets on other rigs?

This is the best product review i have ever seen!

[@sinnombre2149]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I need a graphic tablet and I was very insecure about buying the intous art... I was not sure if the difference in $$$ really give me features I'll use... Now I know the answer is no...

[@Tech-Guy]

I am glad I could help!

[@flashinthehole]

maya ayeis i have the same! After weeks of reading reviews and "research" im buying a tablet tomorrow and convinced myself that buying the pro would be better.. after this video i realized, i dont need to!

[@yopibram]

Where can i buy the pen and the program?

[@marcoatzeri3742]

I'd like to see a comparision between surface studio and the cintiq 27 inches, will this happens here?

[@Tech-Guy]

I have only used 24 and 22inch cintiqs. But I can already tell you there is less parallax with Surface Studio as it has thinner glass; Also Cintiqs have very low brightness screens. Higher resolution of Surface Studio matters a lot. I would definitely rather get a Surface Studio.

[@marcoatzeri3742]

the 4k+ monitor and the color range are a real selling point agree but I'm a bit cold for reactivity etc.

[@Tech-Guy]

Giovanni Sperlari Latency is the same on 22 inch cintiq and Surface Studio. When I have more time I can show that with the same high-speed video.

Great review. Funny and very informative. Im looking to get a tablet for drawing for less than 200, it looks like it doesnt really matter which I choose because the difference is small. What do you think is the best tablet for the money? Like a 100 dollar tablet?

[@Tech-Guy]

Thanks. If I did not have any, and I needed one today, I would buy Intuos Art small. But I have not used a tablet in a few months, until yesterday. I draw direcly on screen of x360 spectre tabletPC when I need to sketch something, but that pen for tablet requires a battery, and it ran out, so my 7yo wacom came to the rescue. In truth, it costs them probably less than $10 to make that $85 tablet, but I would still buy it because it is one of those things that last forever and there is no maintenance.
