I was planning to buy a Wacom. Unfortunately, my supplier has none available. Instead, he suggests a Genius.
Now, I have heard only of wacom and has no idea if genius is any good. I have very little knowledge on hardware; thus, I need your thoughts. Hopefully, one of you guys out there is using it.
Edit: I need Online Store Recommendations. One that's willing to ship to the Philippines. One that's Safe, has good quality items, and reasonable prices.
Thanks in advance! wink

There's still lots of time before I buy it. Encourage or Discourage me as best you could. whee

Ah. Another Fillipino Artist.
I did a search on them. They seem like a good start.
You can always order another once you feel the need to ungrade.
1800 Peso's is a pretty good deal.
You can find someone that's willing to ship INT to the islands on Ebay.
But after some more research, your Genius brand tablet is the same cost as Shipping.
And working out the math, you can buy 3 -4 tablets by the offer price.
And that's buying a Wacom at the same size.

You could always buy online, Im pretty much positive that all online sellers are willing to ship outside of the U.S.
And as far as brands go, do what you can to get a wacom, they are the best no matter how you look at it

What I have heard from a friend and other people who used genius, not quite a positive feedback. sweatdrop My friend told once that she got a small electric shock while using it, the others said something about short usage, some said their tablet started acting up (the lines that appear on the screen shakes uncontrollably) or completely died after using for only 2 months >__>;;
But then again, it seems the quality of this brand is pretty random. I know another friend who used a genius tablet for 3 years before it eventually became dead last year. Overall, from what I concluded, looks like the usual usage duration of genius is about a year. Therefore I think it's up to you, if you want to just 'test' and don't really think about doing digital art seriously then I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. However, if you plan to fully focus on digital art, then I suggest wacom because it's probably the most durable model available. 3nodding

Hmm... That's a problem... Coz I'm pretty serious.. It's good that you pointed that out. If I really WILL end up buying it though, (coz I can't wait to draw) I'll make sure I'm well grounded. xd What happened to your friends may be because they were barefoot when they used it same as when you touch the back side of your CPU. I'll have to expect that it won't last long too. There's a one year warranty to it so maybe, by that time, I may have saved enough for a wacom.
On another note....T o x i c` Quiddity

Nakabili ako sa SM megamall ng Wacom graphire 4 for 9000 pesos, at first wala akong mahanap pero meron sa part ng SM na wala masyadong tao.
Don't buy 5.5 x 4, I think that'd be too small, and yan ata ung pang signature lang. Maganda nug Wacom kasi may mga free sowtfare na kasama tyaka kahit ilang bagsak ko na hindi pa rin siya nasisira. XD
