Digital camera reviews of HP 12c Financial Calculator (12C#ABA)
Digital camera Review: buy this one, not the HP12C Platinum
Summary: 5 Stars
I work in finance and use HP12Cs constantly. They are, hands down, the best calculators I've ever used.
The HP12C Platinum offers three features that are improvements over the HP12C (which has a gold faceplate and which I recommend): slightly faster processing (though you won't notice the speed difference versus the current "gold" version of the HP12C), more functions (which nobody I know ever uses), and the ability to use standard notation as well as reverse Polish notation (but RPN is easly to learn and much more efficient).
The "gold" version (marketed as the HP12C without the word Platinum) offers only one advantage over the Platinums, much better manufacturing quality. When you press a key on the "gold," you can feel a click when the keystroke registers; the Platinum lacks this tactile feedback. As a result, it's easy to miss a keystroke with a Platinum (I've done it a lot) but nearly impossible with a "gold."
My bottom line is that I can't afford errors, so any calculator that is prone to errors in entering the numbers is worse than useless. If the HP12C Platinum were built as solidly as the HP12C, I would have given it five stars, but it's not, so I haven't. I strongly recommend buying an HP12C with the gold faceplate (the product you're looking at now).

Summary: 4 Stars
I am very satisfied with the product. I would of liked to have an owners manual with it. But still very satisfied with condition.Digital camera Review: A Fake, Cheap Replica of the HP12c
Summary: 3 Stars
This HP12c is not what I thought it would be. It is a cheap replica of the original HP12c that I repreviously owned, which was lost or stollen. I am dissapointed and was considering returning it, but it still does have all the features and capabilities that I was used to in the orginal, only much slower. It is light weight and not of good quality and solid like my orginal HP12c.
