Wacom CTH-661SE

great

one programe does not work on new Snow Lion

works on mac and adobe cs3 products

Its bigger than you think! But providing you have a big desk, its perfect and better than getting an A5 size. The Touch element is interesting and if you have the space, works as well as a laptop touchpad replacement as you have more space to drag...

Can be bigger than you expected. Not overly keen on the touch element but it does work well. You might find yourself using the pen and the buttons to navigate around. No instruction on how to change the nib. Apparently that circular bit of metal is...

intuative rewarding to use good on photo editing accurate well made

you have to learn a new set of skills- not the devices fault just bad for lazy people like me!

large surface area excellent price comparatively stylish and well-built fun

none that I have encountered so far

Comparatively cheap, easy to set up. Some useful bundled programs.

Needs practice

Helps with repetitive strain. Great for shading.

Bottons on pen take a bit of getting used to. I work with two monitors and find it better to lock aspect ratio, so a large part of the tablet is not used (glad I didn't go for a smaller tablet).

big

impossible to install software or download "free" software. Far too much hassle in this dasy and age

Nice size. Looks good and matches my Mac Pro. Great it come with a case. Pen is a nice thickness, and easy to hold. £ cost.

Marks easily. I normally use a professional Wacom and this isn't a sensitive or fast to track/react. (but for home or non-professional use it is more than good)

Software bundle has photoshop elements 8 that is quite old, and as such the raw format from my Canon 600d is not supported, as it is in photoshop elements 9 and 10
