Now you have various different builds with price points ranging from $1299 tp $2499 depending on how much of a beast of a machine you can handle! The last generation had only two models, with the difference being the size of the internal SSD (256 or 512gb). One of the interesting changes coming with the Companion 2 is the fact that it is now going to come in a variety of different models, at various different prices points to help you work with both your budget and your needs. So how does the Cintiq Companion 2 stand up against its predecessor? Lets find out…
That being said, no device is perfect and there was certainly room for improvement.This is why I have been so excited to get my hands on the Companion 2.īelow you can see a short unboxing video I put together after Wacom first sent me the Companion 2 to test. Now as a travel photographer, I spend much of my time on the road (generally 4-6 months out of the year) working on various projects, teaching workshops and creating marketing campaigns. For the past 12 months I have been almost exclusively using the 1st gen Wacom Cintiq Companion and have been generally pretty happy with the results. The new Wacom Cintiq Companion 2 (Wacom licensed my image from Iceland) While I will save my soap box talk on why a Wacom tablet (be it the their Cintiq, Intuos or Bamboo line) is easily the biggest game changer when it comes to post processing your images as a photographer for another blog post, the cliff note version is simply the power, efficiency and precision that a pen stylus provides is far beyond anything you can do with a mouse, which is in all honesty probably why most of you are here reading this review in the first place.
Built with digital artists, photographers and graphic designers in mind, these devices not only come with a pen stylus and 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, but they run full versions of Windows 8.1, allowing you to install and take full advantage of Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, InDesign and any other application you can run on a Windows laptop or desktop machine.
At the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas last week, Wacom announced the 13.3″ Cintiq Companion 2, which is essentially the 2nd generation in their line of powerful and portable tablets.
