As to the size of tablet, the large tablet has felt great for me. I noticed that most people will recommend the the medium sized tablet, but I was unsure if I would be comfortable with the medium size, so I just went with the large version, and I don't regret it. I do admit that, at times, it can feel a little too large. When trying to make a large curve, it is easiest to make the curve smooth if you can do the entire thing with wrist and finger movement, but the scaling of the large tablet with the screen's workspace doesn't always make that possible since its close to a 1:1 tablet to screen ratio, but there is a way around this problem. If this is an issue, the active area on the tablet can be reduced to a smaller size. I know this might seem counter intuitive since the larger active area is the main reason for getting the larger tablet, but what I appreciate about the large tablet is that I have the option to change the active area's size to fit my current purpose, so if I need the large active area then I can have it, but if I need to reduce it then I can reduce it, and then just put it back later. Honestly, I rarely adjust the active area size. I usually just leave it with the full active area activated, and I have simply gotten used to working with it. The really nice thing about it is that it feels very natural to use since the stroke you make on the tablet is about the same as what appears on the screen. Although, the large tablet has worked out well for me, it may not be for everyone judging by some of the reviews I have read. It is best to go with the size that you think you will be most comfortable with and the size that will meet your needs.
As to the software that come with the Intuos 5, most of it will probably not be very useful to most experienced digital artist since most probably have equivalent or better software since most of the software that comes with the tablet are limited versions or trials. The one piece of software that I am rather appreciative to have received is Anime Studio Debut since I have heard good things about it, and I don't have a comparable equivalent to it since it has some decent vector based drawing tools. I wish it would have come with one piece of really good software rather than all these cheaper limited ones, but it's not the reason why I bought the tablet, so as far as I am concerned, it's free software, and I am not going to complain too much about free software especially since I can probably get some use out of Anime Studio Debut.
Overall, the Intuos 5 is an excellent art tool and great computer interface device in general. I would highly recommend it to anyone who regularly works with digital art.
This tablet is simply amazing. The new button set up and feel is a great change. While drawing you really get a paper texture feel. If you have used an Intuos4, you might not notice much of a pressure and response difference but the new buttons and rubber is a big change. I think its a lot more practical and more efficient while in use. I constantly found myself feeling like I needed to clean my Intuos4 from smudging it.
Now, if you are considering Medium vs Large....
I use to have an Intuos4 Lrg and loved it. I owned the tabled for 2 years and used for graphic design, illustrations, and some digital painting. The strokes always felt very natural and good ration of tabled to screen. I hardly ever used the precision mode button because my table to screen ratio was very good.
Intuos5 Med.....
Now, I switched to the new Intuos5 medium and loved the new look and feel, but did not like the screen to tabled ratio. Just navigating through photoshop from one end of the screen to the other was very awkward. I messed around with the mapping settings and I still couldn't get something that I liked. Now, I have been using a Large tablet for the past 2 years and it might take some time to adjust. But, since I rely so much on my tablet for what I do as a career, to me it is worth spending a little more and getting what I am already confortable with.
Professionally speaking, the tablet to monitor ratio is a big deal to me. If you are using the tablet with just a 15 or 17 monitor/ laptop, the Medium tablet ratio is probably okay. If you are primarily using the tablet for photo touch up and some moderate design, the Medium size will suit your needs. But, if you have some drawing background (fine arts), you will probably find the Large tablet to suit your needs. The biggest reason is the way you probably do your strokes, you use your arm & shoulder instead of your wrist. Wrist movement would be appropriate (common) for photo touchups, and some illustrations, but for bigger custom made designs you would want the Large tablet. The medium size tablet is like drawing on half a sheet of paper at a time and the Large tablet is like drawing on a whole piece of paper (8.5x11).
One big thing I noticed was the active area difference between the two tablets. The active area is only within the white cross hairs (or "L" figures) on the tablet. You have an extra .5" of blank space around the active area and it doesn't really seem to do anything (at least from what I could tell). This makes your active area a lot smaller than what it looks. This was a big deal breaker for me and the reason for why I am going back to using the Large size tablet.
When it comes down to performance, both tablets have equal sensitivity and touch performance, there is no question in that. The biggest thing is consider the monitor real estate you will be using and the tablet to monitor ratio. Remember that a tablet is a tablet for computer graphic work that requires a pen/ pencil style, not Navigation and or web browsing. The touch is a nice plus and I believe its just Wacoms way of gearing to the new Navigation style that computers are headed to.
I will be returning the Medium and getting a Large. I will post an update once I get it

L'installation du pilote pour la tablette a été un peu ardu toutefois mais le support technique de Wacom a été d'un précieux secours. Les tutoriels de Wacom et de YouTube sont essentiels pour explorer et apprendre comment utiliser la tablette et ajuster les divers paramètres.
Merci pour cette occasion d'en faire l'évaluation!

- Ridiculously easy to draw with. I thought I'd need a Cintiq to be capable of drawing digitally after the bamboo fun I had.
- Pretty as hell. Could also be a con if the rest of your equipment is old or ugly, it'll seem out of place
- Comes with 11 pen nibs, 10 of which are cleverly hidden in the pen holder!
- Good for beginners to digital art (I'm assuming said beginner is competent in traditional mediums). I'm speaking from experience! >.< - In my personal opinion, totally worth it. Would buy again.
Cons:
- Several common issues - cursor snapping, touch interferes with drawing, but snapping is an easy fix
- As remarked by several other purchasers, for some reason shippers see fit to put the Intuos on the bottom of the box and pile the paper they use as a shock absorber/buffer on top. My product nor its box were damaged, but still...
- Takes up a buttload of space on a desk. If you have a small computer desk, take measurements and make a paper fascimile of the product to make sure you have space.
- Pretty expensive. If you're unsure, try to borrow/use a friends or go for the current generation bamboo pen. If that pans out, you can gift the bamboo to another hopeful. If not, you've saved yourself a few hundred bucks.
There's been a few reviewers complaining about the pen being jerky, and I admit I did run into this issue - however, I also had the grid view on, and figured out that the Photoshop "Snap" feature was on by default. Unchecking this option (PS > View > Snap) solved that issue.
The only real barrier for this product to have received a 5 star rating would be that the touch does occasionally interfere with the pen. It's a mild nuisance if you feel like putting up with it, but I opted to use the enable/disable touch button (conveniently pre-programmed to the top button on the tablet) and have had no other issues since.
I've owned two tablets. The previous generation's bamboo fun, which was a 7-8 inch headache, and now the Intuos 5L.
Bamboo fun - This took 8 hours, and was still incomplete: [...]
I did no other digital work between these two, and both use a 3 colour shading scheme. the original concepts for both were done previous to attempting work on either. I had taken four hours of doodling to get used to the Intuos, while the bamboo had a good few weeks of practice beforehand. I've had this product for ~20 days, but I drew the robot the day I got the tablet.
Anyways, apart from how much better this tool is for drawing, it's very sleek. fingerprints show up more than I'd like on the outer surfaces (the drawing surface fares better in that regard) but it's very easy to clean off.
The bottom four buttons are extremely useful as well: panning, the colour eyedrop, and the alternate tool are all on the bottom four and if you change it, you can simply hold a finger over the button (without pressing it) to bring up a legend on the left side that tells you what everything's programmed for. The center ring handles four different options (zoom and brush size are the two I use) and I haven't seen fit to change anything yet as it works well for me.
I will be getting it refunded, and either purchase the intuos4 or bamboo create which apparently have a lot less problems, or wait for a better model release. Weighing the cost of the tablet with the issues it has made it very apparent that it's not worth the money. While the flaws seem small they make it very irritating to work with on a constant basis.
I was extremely unimpressed with the way amazon packaged it to be delivered. It was in a giant box loosely filled with paper of which the tablet wasn't even placed in the middle of, it was sitting at the very bottom of the box. So basically my $600 order had nothing protecting it as it was being tossed around on the way over.
It's been a day and nothing seems terribly wrong with it yet. There's quite a bit of lag in corel painter 12, I know it's not my computer, probably need to tinker with the settings.
Overall the tablet is great so far. If I do end up having to get a refund I'll definitely buy it from somewhere more reliable.
