Addition of multitouch support makes Wacom's most popular input tablet even more capable. Ambidextrous design with the option to go wireless. New headsup display on the ExpressKeys reminds you of your settings in an instant. All the settings and gestures
The redesigned Wacom Intuos5 fixes some drawbacks from the already-excellent previous version
Plus adds multitouch operation to an already impressive bag of input tricks

Wireless option slightly clunkier than Bluetooth

Touch features lack the accuracy and responsiveness of the input pen. Coated plastic surface doesn't come close to the feel of glass. Smoothness of gesturebased input is inconsistent
There's still no interface for sharing/migrating saved settings or allowing third parties to provide preconfigured application-specific settings. Also
The heads-up display trigger is a little too sensitive
Gestures are different from Lion’s default gestures.
The Intuos5 line is available in several sizes, from small, with an active area of 6.2x3.9”, up to large, with a 12.8x8” active area. For photography, I find the medium size ideal. This gives me an 8.8x5.5” active area. At $349 (medium size), the Intuo...
