Designed specifically for professional creative pen displays such as the Cintiq Pro 27, the Wacom Pro Pen 3 provides an exceptionally responsive and comfortable experience for almost any hand size and drawing style. Not only does this style feature 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and a ± 60° tilt for easy shading, it may be fully customized from tip to grip to fit your preferences. Customizations include an adjustable weight that changes the center of balance, a choice between 3 or no side buttons, a flared grip, and a standard straight grip. Both standard and felt pen nibs are also included.
Mirrorless is the modern standard; invest in a mirrorless system unless buying cheap used DSLRs to learn on. Sensor size (Full Frame vs APS-C/Crop) dictates low-light performance, depth of field, and lens cost. Available from $129.95.
The camera body is just the down payment on the photography hobby. True ownership cost lies in lenses, SD cards, batteries, and editing software subscriptions. Protecting the gear with good bags and filters mitigates expensive repairs.
