I got to say I am impressed. I got this tablet because It was 120-170 dollars cheaper than the kamvas pro 20 depending on a used or new version of the later. I was concerned before the tablet came that maybe I should have forked the extra money over. However, I looked in depth at the specs of both. Everything is the same except for a few small things, like the pro having buttons, slightly less parallax, and lamination on the screen (not sure what that means). Otherwise beside those three things, the specs where the same. Same rps, same pen, same pen tilt, same size screen, same resolution, same pen pressure, same color spectrum, etc.
Now, I don't use the button on tablets. I prefer to use the keyboard shortcuts or a wireless number pad. So That gets booted off the list of extras that might make the extra 120+ worth it for me. Next the parallax. That refers to the space between the pen tip on the screen and where the courser shows up on the screen. I was expecting a huge space. I mean right? If this tablet is that much cheaper the parallax must be a bit of a nuisance. My last pc screen tablet, the XP-Pen 22h, had awful parallax. I had gotten it after having a small Wacom Cintiq 13'in because I wanted a larger screen. The difference was was noticeable for me. Annoyingly so. So I was anxious for this tablet. I currently use an Ipad Pro for my portable art. Another reason I was nervous for this tablet The Ipad has next to no parallax and I was afraid that this would just be awful next to that. However, upon comparing them, while there is a small bit of parallax on the Kamvas 20, it's hardly noticeable unless you purposefully look for it. So while I would prefer none, this ain't bad at all! 100 times better than I was expecting. Lastly is screen lamination. The Kamvas 20's screen is matte. That's all I need. I am not sure what lamination means in this context, but as far as I know I don't miss it haha.
So for me I suppose the main decider for me between the two tablets is the parallax really. While I would prefer to have as little as possible, and it sounds like the pro 20 must have less that the plain 20, I can't justify the price difference with that. Maybe if it was only a 25ish dollar difference, I would upgrade. But at this price, (I bough the Kamvas 20 at $400) I just simply can't justify the extra money. Especially since I then used that extra money to order a non-screen graphics tablet from Huion,one of their nicer ones too. This way if I am tired or want my had out of the way of the piece I am painting I can lean back and keep going at it. Had I gotten the Pro, I don't think I would have gotten the graphics tablet. At least not one as nice or effective.
When it comes down to it, I think that this is the best graphics tablet for the price that I have seen, and I am very happy with it. 🙂
