Mouse vs. tablet

[Dysterkvist]

Hello,

I am currently saving up for this puppy - the Wacom Cintiq 27QHD which will be available to me close to the end of the year.



It is close to $3400 CAD, however if you have the ability to try it out and purchase it, go for it!

I tried a 24HD at a classmates house once, and I really thought it was way too large. It is actually possible to go in that direction as well, I would really suggest everyone who's thinking about getting one of these, try it first.

They are very expensive and the 24HD was also very heavy with the table mounting thing, close to like 30kg I think.

Yes, i believe for most people, the 13HD is adequate and more than enough to do cartography/mapping. And YES, the 22 and 27 are very expensive, especially the touch versions. I decided to not get the touch, and just settle for the pen version only, because when i am working with a ruler and need full control, i dont want to make an accident. I will be purchasing this tablet for both mapping and illustrations (manga and concept art) so it will have a few uses. I was going to also go for an ergotron extendable/adjustable arm that can be manipulated into different positions depending on what the tablet is being used for.
