Digital camera reviews of HP 12C Financial Calculator
Digital camera Review: Best calculator on the market - Even after 2 Decades!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am still using the dented HP 12C my father purchased for me over two decades ago, as a graduation present. After so long, it is like a trusted friend that has helped through negotations, successful exams, and many financial decisions. Plus, the price has risen minimally compared to the quality. When my father balked at the price, $50 in 1986, neither of us would know how valuable it would be. Actually, the HP12C was a bargain!Digital camera Review: Best calculator there is

Once you get used to using this calculator, others are unusable to you.Digital camera Review: Best choice in Financial calculators
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my HP 12C since 1982. They cost($$) then. It spent 5years rattling around in my college bookbag. Now I use it daily at work and have dropped it many times. While some may say it is slow, you'll never notice a speed problem on regular arithmetic calculations. The RPN feature makes complex calculations easy to enter. Its easy to learn and you won't have to lend it to your co-workers in meetings because most of them don't know RPN!I hope HP gives plenty of notice before discontinuing this calculator. I'll buy another just in case mine breaks in a decade or two. END
Digital camera Review: Best financial calculator ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a gread student majoring in finance and I've owned a texas financial calculator for 2 years now. For some reason, I've never been able to master all the functions in the texas without keeping the instruction manual open. I finally decided to give the hp 12 c a try and am really thrilled with the results. The HP 12 c is very easy to master - took me 2 hours to go through the manual and understand everything and I dont carry the manual around anymore. Its made my life much simpler!Digital camera Review: Bill

I have owned and used a 12C for more than 25 years. I just just bought my 3rd 12C and I have to say I am really disappointed in the quality of the product. This product is a cash cow for HP and it seems they are trying to squeeze more margin out of an already high margin product by cutting corners which reduces the quality. Prime example are the keys. In the past the keys were well fitted in the calculator casing to give it a solid feel. Now the keys jiggle within the casing, especially if you hold it upside down and lightly shake it back and forth. I would suggest HP to have a serious discussion with the product manager in charge of the 12C. You have gone from a quality product to a cheap Chinese knock off. Had I known this when I bought it I would have found another alternative.
