OMG I love this thing!

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

It was quite the hurdle to justify buying this thing. I finally went with this model, and the additional expense, when I realized that it is not the size of the tablet itself but the actual working surface that you have to take into account. BEWARE: The actual working area is ab out 1 inch INSIDE the top and bottom margin and 3-4 inches inside the outer margin. Just know that before you buy it so you are not surprised and disappointed.

Okay, so how well does it work? I was quite impressed. It not only faithfully recreates every movement I make with the stylus pen (which feels like a big, fat-barrel pen, like a Bic-4 color pen if you remember those). The clicker button on the pen is extraneous for most things you do, but is good to have. My problem is that I keep clicking on it (it is a long slender button that sits right by your index finger when you are holding the pen and it just begs to be clicked). This causes the "right click" mouse button to activate. Just a minor annoyance. It takes getting used to.

Writing and drawing on the surface was a lot easier to learn than I thought and if you are worried about "shaky-hand" you can always zoom in and thus greatly reduce the end-effect of jittery stroked or writing. This is soooo much easier than writing with a mouse by the way. Now I can digitally sign documents and mark up images (and documents of course) for my business. I did find the surface a bit annoying. It is slightly textured and "scratchy." I ended up buying a sticky plastic sheet cover (I forget what it is called) to "protect the surface of my tablet" which it seems to be doing. I forgot what that thing is called but if you end up buying a pent tablet from Amazon you will probably get an ad for one sent to you via email. What I like about the sticky sheet cover (like one you would have for your iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc) is that it actually does prolong the life of your nibs. "Nibs" are the replaceable tips you get with your stylus pen. You get a few free with your tablet but the reviews I read said how quickly they wear out. After I put the sticky sheet on my tablet it is like writing on glass--and there is MUCH LESS wear on my "nibs."

Well, I like it. It works with your mouse. You can have this AND your mouse plugged in at the same time with no problem. I catch myself using my mouse to position the cursor in Photoshop and then using the pen for fine detail work. I attribute this completely to me being a dork who has not spent enough time mastering the fine art of the pen. One drawback I do find is that I want to rest my hand on the tablet. I don't think that moves the cursor around but when I set the pen/stylus to the tablet I have to move it around to find the cursor and sometimes this makes marks (which you can CNTRL-Z to undo--but still, it is a bit embarrassing). Again, this is something that takes getting used to.

You can use your finger or fingers (multi-touch) instead of the stylus if you like. I have tried this a few times. Oh, also, this thing is pressure sensitive. You can press down on the pen as you draw or write to make fatter lines. I have no idea how this works but it is very cool. There are four "mouse" buttons on the end (the black strip) and I remember reading what they were for but I have never ended up using them. I am not a "power user" or an artist or architect so unfortunately I cannot give you the lowdown on what all of the crazy advanced features are. My point is that it is light, sturdy, VERY FUN, and so easy to use. I wish I had bought one years ago. It probably won't stand up to a lot of abuse. It really is something you set on your desk and don't move around a lot--I would not recommend dragging it around with your laptop everywhere for example, but for what it is it really comes in handy.

So, was it worth the $164 or whatever? Oh absolutely. Of course I wanted the bigger one, but this one is a great size. It is not so big that it takes over your deck (although it is 9x16 overall or something like that? ) It does take up room. I can only imagine the giant one I drooled over would not leave me any room on my desk for my keyboard. I don't use it as much as I thought I would though. I guess you really have to think carefully about how much you will use it. It is a marvelous tool and it is much more flexible (useful in many ways) than I thought, but it is a bit of an investment.

Okay, hope this helped. Thanks for reading.

I love this tablet!

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2012

I was pleasantly surprised. In the past I associated bamboo with hobbyists, but this tablet proves to be a serious tool for serious digital artists/designers. It's great for the professional on a tight budget. You really cannot get any better for this price. The size is perfect, the custom buttons are super easy to customize, the little loop to hold the pen is also a great little feature, you can store extra nibs in the tablet itself, and it has a port for a Bluetooth adapter! I really like the finish, too. It doesn't quite feel like paper, but it's the closest feel to paper that I've experienced with a tablet so far. The pressure sensitivity on the pen is nice, and, of course, it's adjustable as well. Another nice thing about is the weight of the tablet: it's very light weight, but it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all.

My only complaint -- and I think most agree it's sort of expected -- is the pen. There's nothing wrong with it at all, to be honest, but a pen is such a personal object that it has to be perfect, and for me it isn't perfect. I like a much more slender pen with a little more of a taped tip. However, I think most people who are serious about their digital work already know that the pens that come with tablets aren't always the best, and probably have a favorite pen that they've purchased separately. If not - don't let me discourage you, (like I said) the pen is fine. The design just doesn't fit my personal preference.

If I want to nitpick, the usb cord may be a little short if you are using a desktop. If you are planning on using Bluetooth or a portable computer, then you don't need to worry about it. I had to use an extension for mine because my tower is under my desk to the right, and the cord needs to plug into the left of the tablet. I could have just as easily had the cord run across the desk, but that bothers the heck out of me after a while. Not a big deal, really. Longer usb cords are pretty cheap anyway.

It works great with Corel Painter 12

Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

- I have used it with windows 7 (Asus) and macbook pro(2012). I had problem getting the trial to work on the mac, so I contacted Wacom and will likely get it in the mail in the coming days. Anyways I bought the Corel Painter 12 Full version and I like the software and how this tablet works with it.
- From what I see in the Painter user guide and tutorials, a few paint brushes I guess would benefit from the tilt, rotate and extra pressure sensitivity of Intuos 5, but I don't feel compelled to find out by buying it as I am just starting out.
- After a few days of use, I've managed to make some scratch marks on the tablet, but I guess they haven't interfere with how the pen/tablet function together.
- I had previous experience with an entry level Wacom tablet from 10 years ago, which I seldom use; but I've lost the drivers, which are important for it to function any more than a crude mouse replacement.
- I also have the stylus and iPads. which is fine for finger painting but it's tiring and the apps are just for quick small scribbles.
- Of course I could also paint by normal real paint brushes, but I'd need to buy paint, paper, and carry them around. And I wouldn't
- Why I'm commenting on tablets in general? Because I haven't found any other comparable tablets/stylus on the market.
- it doubles as a giant trackpad, and it does it better than my Asus trackpad, but not as smooth as my macbook pro trackpad.

Excellent tablet for the price

Reviewed in Canada on July 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

I was debating between this model and the medium Intuos 5. The main difference between the two is supposed to be just the pressure sensitivity. I use an Intuos 4 at work all day, and I didn't notice any difference between that model and the Bamboo Create. So for a much smaller price, you get a quality tablet that is very comparable to the professional model. This would be a great choice for anyone wanting to do sketching, design projects, etc. or you can use it as a mouse replacement. I love the colors on the Bamboo Create, it's a very sleek design. It's also the perfect tablet size for an HD screen. I was concerned that it said it had a "textured" surface, since I like the Intuos' smooth surface, but the Create is actually very smooth and just has a very nice feel to it. It came bundled with some pretty good express software too. But the "Bamboo Dock" software it installed on my PC is very annoying. I think it's for if you want to use write to text, which I don't need, so I will just keep it turned off.

I was also very happy with Amazon's customer service, I asked for a partial refund since the price dropped significantly only a couple days after I ordered it, and they gave me a special exception even though it's not their policy. From my experience, Amazon's always been pretty good about that kind of thing.

Overall: Very good value for the price!

Worse than I thought, but very good overall...

Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

First, this was an upgrade from an older, smaller Wacom-Bamboo Pen Tablet model. I thought I needed an upgrade, and the touch/pen hybrid with a larger area seemed like a good choice when it went on sale.

The first thing I noticed is the tablet itself is huge, about the surface area of a typical 14" laptop computer. The usb cable is detachable and shorter than the cable on my previous tablet, which is great for carrying with your laptop, but a pain if your desktop station far away from where the tablet would sit on the desk (a separate wireless accessary is available at a cost).

After plugging it in, I saw that it seemed to automatically recognize as a clumsy large touch pad, and the pen was completely disabled (unlike my previous model, where the pen tablet would function well enough without installing the drivers). I also saw that THERE ISN'T AS MUCH WRITING SPACE AS YOU THINK: the picture suggests the pen is recognized on a large space next to three black buttons, but an hd image of the product will show you tiny crosshairs indicating exactly where the pen is recognized, approx. 50% of the surface area, a disappointment for being a waste of space like my previous model). Also, the free bundled software comes as a code you need to download online, which again is different from my previous model, which had the software on disc. Not good first impressions.

But after installing the drivers on the one disc that did come with it, the multi-touch tablet and pen start to shine. The tablet cleverly has the pen input overtake the touch input, meaning you are less likely to accidently use them both together (annoying that you have to drop the pen to use the gestures, but probably best the way they did it). The pen is a little better than my previous one, and the eraser on the top is a nice addition in software that supports it (Adobe Photoshop sees it directly as the pen and eraser tools, but Microsoft paint for example sees it as two pen inputs). Certainly unnecessary at first, but with the right software the eraser is a godsend in efficiency. The multi-touch pad takes some getting used-to, but after researching the different gestures in Windows 8 (yes, the tablet works fine in Windows 8), I saw several cool gesture options to scroll through and switch between apps using multiple fingers, in addition to standard intuitive mouse pad inputs. After more use, I imagine I'll use these gestures often to navigate Windows 8, although the keyboard and mouse will still be kept on the side. The buttons on the side are meant to replace the three-mouse buttons (the buttons are also on the side of the pen if you prefer), but they (and all the other functions of the tablet) can be reprogrammed or disabled. Otherwise, the tablet is a good replacement for a mouse, and works at least as well as a mouse for any software you use it with.

Your biggest questions:
- This, or the Intuos line, or the smaller Bamboo "Capture" tablet?

= I can't see any reason to choose the Intuos tablets over this, the pen input is more than sensitive enough for most people. Professionals may choose Intuos as a standard because of the name alone, otherwise this is a quality tablet for a cheaper price. Having used a tablet roughly the size of the smaller "Capture" tablet, I think artists can get used to both sizes after a few days of using one. The larger "Create" is more like writing on paper, where I lift my hand regularly for each stroke, which is better for me when sketching. The smaller "Capture" can also be used like this, but you can leave your wrist mostly in the same place, which is less tiring for general navigation around the operating system and other tasks outside of drawing. Depending on your usage and preferences, you could get used to using either one, but consider the price, the eraser on the "Create", and the software included before choosing. I recommend the smaller "Capture" tablet if you can't decide.

- Is this a good first tablet?

= not for the price, unless you have that much to spend. Get the smaller "Capture" tablet, identical in build and functionality, and some claim the smaller size is easier to use. Keep in mind there is no image on the tablet, that you look up at the computer screen as you draw. This takes getting used to, but if you train yourself, you'll never want to go back drawing with a mouse.

- Do I need a tablet instead of my regular mouse?

= Yes.

Overall, I wonder if the "Capture" tablet was a better choice for the price over the "Create", but I am satisfied with the price I paid and happy to have experimented with a larger size tablet, which complements well with my large desktop monitor. Some elements were misleading (see first few paragraphs), but still a great tablet to work with.

Very good tablet for a beginner artist

Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

First time using a tablet and I love it.

Some people are complaining that getting used to a graphic tablet is hard, well is not. In two days I managed to get pretty comfortable with.

Pros:
1. This tablet has the biggest active area of all wacom bamboo products. (8.5 x5.4 inches)
2.The design is pretty nice, sleek silver with black rock like finished buttons.
3. Cool pen with nice rubber like texture for good grip.
4. Nice response time, it is almost as you use an actual pen on a paper.
5. Very good price.
6. Comes with 3 extra tips for the pen.

Cons:
1. It will never replace the old fashioned wood pencil and paper.(DUH!!!)
2. Seriously, there aren't any bad things about this tablet, all works like a charm.

Bottom line, if you want to draw concept art on Photoshop, and your just starting or even if you are a more advanced user and you just want to replace your old tablet, I recommend it definitely. At least from my experience I didn't have any technical issues with my tablet.

A solid tablet

Reviewed in Canada on November 30, 2012

I just decided to try out drawing.... This is my first tablet, so I'm speaking from a rather limited point of view.

This tablet is great! I love the textured surface... having that feedack is wonderful! The stylus is very comfortable. Having the eraser on the end of it, and the two programmable buttons is very helpful. I personally have undo and redo assigned to the stylus buttons. It is very large, which is great for sweeping strokes. The multi-touch works very well. It only took me about an hour of using it to get really comfortable with it.

Nothing bad to say. Great product!
