 Good for tests. Lacks accuracy and convenient features Apr 19, 2005
By Peter Kwok
FX-260SOLAR is light, slim, and durable. This is also the official calculator for use on GED Math tests and is permitted for use on SAT and PSAT/NMSQT. It is solar-powered meaning you won't be stuck with a dead calculator in the middle of a test. The "mode" menu is printed beneath the screen so that you don't need the user's guide again. (Trust me. This is a BIG plus!) It also handles fraction calculation, converts degrees/minutes/seconds both ways, and computes mean and standard deviation.
However, it lacks the HEX-OCT-BIN conversion and complex number calculation features to make it an all-around technical calculator. Users also need to press SHIFT to use the "1/x" and "nCr" functions. In comparison, Casio FX-300MS offers a much more convenient layout and costs only $1 more with the sale going on now (April 2005).
On the numerical side, this model does not store enough digits to be a good financial calculator. For example, this model evaluates 200000 (1 + 0.06/360)^(360*30) to about 1209747.95. A more accurate answer should be about 1209748.04. TI got it; Casio did't. Although the difference is so small that it often doesn't matter in highschool problems, it looks bad on presentation.

 Outstanding Casio quality for an excellent price Oct 27, 2002
By crimea
I have been using Casio electronics for over a decade now -- starting with first data bank and touch screen watches. The brand has never failed me, so I have chosen Casio FX-260 over TI and Sharp competitors again. The calculator is great for graduate classes in Computer Science and Finance for sure (this is what I am using it for), and I am certain it will be more than enough for Physics, Chemistry, and other sciences. Compact design, a high-contrast screen, rubber keys -- everything is just right. And if I want to do graphing, I will use Matlab. Highly recommend!

Great priced scientific calculator Aug 12, 2000
By Andrew Brown
I recently bought one of these scientific calculators. This calculator is not only compact but it is also inexpensive. And since it is solar powered I never have to worry about the batteries running down if I leave it on. This is a great calculator to buy if you don't want to spend a lot but want to get a lot from it.

Good calculator. Mar 21, 2007
By Cmyk Twain
This is a fine calculator, and inexpensive. The only shortcoming I see is that it doesn't have a '1,000' separator. This makes large numbers hard to see quickly.

The only calculator you need Nov 17, 2008
By Martin P McGreal Jr
This little calculator is my favorite calculator of all time. It has been the only calculator I've needed for Algebra, Trigonometry, Calc I, II, and III, Discrete Mathematics, and Differential Equations. I believe I've gone through enough fundamental classes to say with confidence that this calculator has every function you will need.
Things I love about this calculator:
1) Durable
2) Light
3) Small, doesn't take up much room
4) Cheap
5) Works in fractions (won't reduce them to decimal values)
6) Has all the trig functions
7) Even has a pseudo-random number generator
8) Has all the scientific functions you could need
9) Its x^y function accepts fractions for y
The only thing I would add to this calculator would be a logarithm function that I could assign my own base to (log_y). It already has log_10 and log_e, but sometimes a log_2 is useful as well, for instance.
I think the size of this calculator is perfect. It's small and thin, but not too small. The screen is perfectly readable, and the buttons are the rubberized type that provide a nice tactile feel.
