Hey guys,
I just came across this graphire blue tooth tablet and was wondering if it was a good buy.
I am a Maya user primarily, and into character animation. I am buying a tablet to save my wrists, but also, since I love 2d animation and drawing, I would use it for sketching and learning digital painting.
To use a tablet with maya, I am thinking of using it along side a key pad with programmable keys so that I can have the tablet and the key pad for alt and other buttons.
I was looking at intuitos 3 wide screen capable one (bougt a dell 24 inch monitor recently) and I want to buy it fast as my wrists are feeling weary and I dont want to risk too much damage.
As I was searching I came across this one.
Graphire Bluetooth 6x8 Wireless Pen Tablet.
It looks promising that i can use it in my lap like a drawing pad or even while reclining if I can set it up and felt that it would give me a lot of freedom to change my posture during work, which is a good thing ergonomically.
What I am concerned with is the response time and the usage capablities of it. I am pretty new to good tablets (I have one already, but it sucks) and wanted to ask if this was a good buy.
Studica says that this is 209 dollars, where as an intuitos 3 wide format one at 280 dollars (this is 6 by 11).

They are also saying that this :http://www.studica.com/products/product_detail.cfm?productid=51444
a 4 by 6 tablet works well with wide screens. Does it really?
I would be grateful if someone helps me out in selecting which one I should go for.
a wireless tablet and then mapping it to play with wide screen
or
intuitos wide screen wire tablet.
Thanks a lot in advance. I am not sure how much of a difference the pressure sensitivities and other specks make, hence i need help.
