I do wish that more drawing tablet reviews of the Intuos 4 would point out how much quicker the nibs wear down due to the rougher screen. I actually wish the Intuos4 had a slick screen like the Intuos3 did. A lot of people didn't like it but I had no problem whatsoever with it plus buying those nibs aren't exactly cheap. It would be nice if they gave the buyer a choice in what type of writing surface they wanted.

I tried to post links to my works but it does not work.

I`ll try one more time with just one image.

And about being stuck with something, that is just not the case. I recently sold my intuos3 A4 tablet and bought a smaller intuos3 A6 tablet. In my country an intuos 4 small is cheaper than intuos 3 a6 so nobody is stuck with anything, that is just hilarious! Hahhaahahah!
It seems that you are the biased one here. I wonder why… Do you work for Wacom by any chance? Are you on their payroll?

Mr. Zarbailov I sincerely do not understand where these ideas about me come from. All my statements about wacom products come from direct experience and are backed by very clear technical arguments wich I invite anybody to prove that they are wrong. I am a senior graphic designer with 3 years of experience working on intuos 3. I have triyed out many other tablets like trust, wacom cintiq, bamboo, wacom graphire. Can you please back your words revealing what experience using graphic tablets do you have?

Care to back that up, Jason? With anything. One shred of evidence? I agree with you on the absurd difference on the active area versus the physical dimensions. We seem to be on the same page here so where exactly was I showing that I haven`t got a clue in all that I said? Be more specific? What I said about ACTUAL technical details was wrong? About resolution? Pressure sensitivity, inclination, reading height?

I am not angry just that the new intuos 4 came out. I am angry, true, but about something entirely different. I am angry that everybody praises the intuos4 without any technical backing. And that in all the reviews nobody dares to compare it to intuos3. It`s like, instead of comparing the iPhone 3G with it`s predecessor 2G everybody compares it with having a ground line, a fix line.. Wich is just absurd. And about being stuck with something, that is just not the case. I recently sold my intuos3 A4 tablet and bought a smaller intuos3 A6 tablet. In my country an intuos 4 small is cheaper than intuos 3 a6 so nobody is stuck with anything, that is just hilarious! Hahhaahahah!

About making a review about intuos 3.. hm, mabye that`s a good ideea. But I`ll do that if I have the time. Not in the near future anyway. And just to be fair, I`ll do it after I try intos 4 and “intuos pen and touch”.
About backing my words showing some digital work I can`t see the point in that. But just to humor you, ok. Here goes.

It’s hilarious how obvious it is that George has no clue what he is talking about.

George,

I know why you defend Intuos3 so much and are so biased about it… Are you ready? You are just angry that the Intuos4 came out and now you’re stuck with Intuos3 – no longer being the “latest” product. If you are so convinced that Intuos3 is so much better that Intuos4 then why don’t you make a review about it? I would love to see the art you created using this tablet, can you back your words now?

I`m baaaack!
Spoiler alert for people already using wacom intuos 3 and needing a real review: NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!
This review is only for people who have not used wacom products before or especially intuos 3.

A real user test would be made by people already using intuos 3 and curious about intuos 4. That is the only comparing that really matters. A real usabillity review for intuos 4 should convince me to sell my intuos 3 and buy intuos 4. If this review is adressed to people using paper or other products like cintiq then maybe the usability test should be on bamboo pen and touch, wich is much newer then intuos 4 and I suspect it uses (besides multitouch) same technology as intos 3 at an affordable price ;P. Cheers!
