is that an intuos4 wacom or the older one? because that looks really big. i was looking into the intous4 wacom (small) and it looks tiny, 4x6 activity area.

It is the Intuos Small. It does look rather large - it has extra non-active space compared to previous models or when compared to the Fun line.

Personally, I rather like the 4x6 active area. I prefer not to have to move my hand too much - it keeps it easier. I like the Medium as well, but IMO, the Large and X-Large are very cumbersome to use (unless you do a lot of fine art work or have some other specific reason).

Ok note: Camera changes are pointless unless you look at the second camera

other than that gripe, it was a good review

I have the Intuos4, after I had the Bamboo fun. Never goin' back. Intuos4 fucking rocks.

he just gives all of the credit to the intuos. He could have given the bamboo model something to work with! I mean c;mon, the intuos apparently is £100 more, of course its gonna have most of the better features, but still.

U look exactly like the guy from " How I met your mother" a little skinny though.

thanks to your video, i bought the intuous4 (small) and i'm loving it. you're right, it actually is a lot bigger than it sounds. and it's pretty much all the space i need anyway. and it's also portable with my laptop, it's a great product!

thanks again!

Could have done it online but, it would have cost the same. Because you then must add shipping fees (not free for my country), custom fees, federal taxes and provincial taxes (like state taxes), and you never know if it's going to be damaged in transport. At the end it comes up to roughly the same price +/- 20$.I got mine right away and i could exchange it easily if it didn't work well.

You could have gone online and ordered a Wacom Intuos4 for a little more depending on the size and shipping prices. Too be honest, not to be rude, you were ripped off.
