(More customer reviews)First off let me commend Amazon on the shipping. I ordered Wacom 6x8 on a Tuesday around 11:00 am, and it was delivered to me the next day around 10:00 am and I ordered it using the free super saver shipping!
The product is great. I was previously using an Aiptek Hyperpen 6x8 pad. There is no comparison. I found the Wacom to be much more precise at slow movement speeds. In addition the writing surface is very nice. There is a little bit of texture to the overlay which feels very good when using the pen. With the Aiptek, the surface was so smooth, I had to tape a piece of paper over the surface.
I will give one bit of advice though. The overlay is initially very hard to lift. Static cling makes the thing almost impossible to lift. No where in the documentation or online does it say how to lift the overlay. After contacting tech support, it was suggested to take a piece of masking tape, place a strip on the bottom of the overlay, right by the Wacom logo. Make sure you leave a bit extra over past the overlay to act as a handle to pull on. Then just pull up slowly and it will lift the overlay. The overlay is fixed at the top, so only the bottom part will swing up, so don't bring it up to far otherwise you could bend the overlay and it would be hard to get flat again.
Otherwise I don't have any complaints. It is a great product and I think the 6x8 size is perfect for pretty much all tasks. Any bigger would require too much arm movement. 6x8 is pretty analogous to the movement you would make on a regular sheet of paper. If you are thinking of a larger size and don't really have need for the ability to trace large images or drawings, try this for a test. Measure out a 9x12 area, and take a pencil and try drawing a line from the top left to the bottom right. You will see it take a lot of arm movement. Imagine having to do that whenever you want to click a tool somewhere on the left and then draw somewhere else on the screen, it can get tiring. Bigger is not always better.
I would highly recommend anyone who does graphical work on a computer to pick up this product.
