Digital camera reviews of HP 10bII Financial Calculator
Digital camera Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
After many years I discarded an HP10B that finally gave up the ghost. The HP10BII does all the same things with a definite feel and click to the keys. The placement of the 'Off', 'Clear/Clear all' and the 'Shift' keys makes them difficult to use instinctively; I cannot remember which one to push without looking first rather than hitting the correct one without thought. Otherwise good, solid calculator.Digital camera Review: Don't buy it!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've owned an HP12C calculator for more years than I can count and I love it. I needed to purchase the 10BII because it is the calculator required for the British Columbia Real Estate Exam. Before I received my calculator, I borrowed one from a friend to begin studying. When I received my calculator, I noticed the FV key did not function properly and several of the other keys seemed to function inconsistently. I contacted HP for a replacement because I didn't want to be without the calculator. HP is supposedly sending on via Fed Ex, but in the meantime, I've discovered that on many of the example problems I can input the exact key strokes provided in the work/study book and don't get the correct answer. I can get the correct answer on the 12C and on my friend's calculator, but not on the one I purchased. I'm so frustrated and p.o.'d at this point, I don't want to own a 10BII at all. I'm returning the one I purchased (and the replacement, if it ever gets here) and borrowing my friend's calculator for the test. Then it's back to my 12C.Shame on HP for producing a calculator of such inferior quality.

My professor recommended this calculator over the other ones because of how easy it is to use. Everything is labeled nicely and easy to find.Digital camera Review: Easy to use

When I first got it, i thought i have to go through the whole manuel to be able to use it, but i didn't. I just flipped through the first few pages of the quick start and i was good to go! Its easy to use and makes financial calculations much easier.Digital camera Review: Easy to use Financial Calculator
Summary: 5 Stars
This calculator was required for a Masters level Financial Management course. I already had a calculator with similar finance functions but never took the time to figure out how to use them. This one is very straight-forward and requires only a few minutes to master the basic functions for time-value of money. The display is easily adaptable to various different types of problems (such as BEGIN/END for annuities due vs regular annuities, default number of payments per year, and ultra simple ammortization data). The other scientific functions are somewhat limited but it will do basic statistics and mathmatical problems and has programmable memory keys. For the price, I was happy to get it strictly for the financial features but it could easily serve as an all around calculator for the average student or bill payer. No more tables for me! It uses two CR 2032 button batteries which can be purchased almost anywhere for around $4. I keep a spare set in my backpack since I have no idea how long they will last.
