Digital camera reviews of Texas Instruments BA II Plus Financial Calculator
Digital camera Review: AMAZING
Summary: 5 Stars
amazing, the first financial calculator i have used and it was supppper fast and easy to learn btw its IDENTICAL to the proffesional one exept that this one is not silver its less proff looking hehe but its exact same keys, it brings a key card to carry always with so you remember the important keys WORTH THE BUY!.Digital camera Review: An Excellent Tool for Financial Calculations
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used the BA-II in my business for over a decade and it is a very good calculator for relatively simple financial applications. I have since purchased an HP-10B that has greater capabilities on more complex problems, but I find myself still using the BA-II for many simple ammortization and Time Value of Money calculations. It is a great calculator to "cut your teeth" on financial problems with. It has a well written manual and the calculator's logic is easy to pick up. Someday you may want greater capability - multiple ledgers & etc. In that case you will need to "graduate" to the HP-10B. But in the mean time, if you are doing calculations where an average rate of return is adequate, the BA-II will not fail you. Like I said, I have both of these calculators in my office, but I still use the 'ol BA about half the time.Digital camera Review: Attractively Priced For a Reason...

Realistically, the BA II Plus can do everything you need from a financial calculator - any of the more advanced function that are lacking are better suited for Excel anyway.
My problem is that for the simple, everyday uses, the BA II Plus requires more keystrokes and is more 'complex' than its counterparts. For people who value time and efficiency, stay away.
I believe this is a classic example of 'you get what you pay for.' Spring for the more expensive HP unless you absolutely cannot afford it.

I buy a calculator to perform rote formulas to arrive at a solution. This calculator requires the user to learn a new language. Why buy this when all you need is a HP 12C !!!!Digital camera Review: Awesome product!
