Every year, Professional Photographer magazine curates its “Hot Ones” buyer’s guide, breaking down a variety of products across categories that they believe are must haves for photographers. From cameras themselves to lights, lenses, display products, studio equipment, and software, they highlight the most innovative and high-quality products that will support photographers in creating their best work. Here’s how they describe the 2024 Hot Ones, the 25th anniversary of their buyer’s guide:
In the past quarter century, sweeping technological advances have transformed the photographic profession. The same has been true of every quarter century before it since the invention of photography. Just as the handheld Kodak Brownie brought film photography to the masses, digital photography does so today. And as with each advance, from amongst the enthusiasts and early adopters emerges the next generation of skilled pros. While you think about where you want to go next in your professional journey, please enjoy our 25th anniversary Hot Ones buyers guide, featuring this year’s standouts of innovation.
Wacom Cintiq Pro — Essential Photography Studio Equipment
The “Studio Equipment” category of the 2024 Hot Ones guide features printers, tripods, color management solutions and monitor calibrators and other products — and the Wacom Cintiq Pro pen displays. Here’s what they had to say:
For artistic photographers, digital pen displays make bringing your vision to life a more tactile and precise experience. The new Cintiq displays give you a choice between a more compact 17.3-inch display and a 21.5-inch screen. Each has 4K resolution and is capable of displaying 1.07 billion colors. Both are Pantone and Pantone SkinTone Validated.
For photo editors who want an even larger screen, there’s also the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 — our top-of-the-line pen display with our current largest screen size.
Wacom for Photographers and Photo Editors
We’re pleased that Professional Photographer magazine has recognized the Wacom Cintiq Pro as an essential tool for photographers and photo editors.
But Wacom also has a range of pen displays and tablets for photographers and photo editors, from the One by Wacom pen tablet to Wacom Cintiq Pro pen display!
