I needed a simple and small calculator for work. I don't use it very often, but when I need one I am usually in a hurry and want it to work ASAP. I wanted a solar one that was easy to use and didn't have lots of fancy buttons. This is exactly what I was looking for. It's not bulky and not too "scientific".

Works fine, great price, but too small. You don't realize a small calculator is annoying until you have one.

Canon makes a fine small pocket calculator that I trust. I understand, of course, that some people will want this for the same reasons I wanted it while other people would never be satisfied with this calculator. Therefore, here are the pros and cons of this calculator: PROS: 1) It can use either solar power or battery power. 2) The keys are pretty much the right size. 3) The numbers on the screen are relatively easy to read and it's got a memory feature. 4) The calculator comes with a "function card." This will help you or refresh your memory as to how to use this calculator to its maximum potential. 5) This product is relatively inexpensive; this is perfect for anyone who wants an affordable pocket calculator. 6) The display is angled toward the viewer's eyes so it's easy to read the display--and the display doesn't even need full brightness in order for you to read it! CONS: 1) It doesn't have features that a statistician would want. If you want to use this for matrix and vector calculations, you're flat out of luck. Get a scientific calculator instead. 2) The change sign button is very difficult to even notice--it's on the "%" button! 3) The three key limit on the memory function may frustrate people. Overall, this calculator is perfect for anyone who wants a regular, reliable and inexpensive calculator just to do basic functions. Again, statisticians and other people will not be satisfied with this; but I was pleased overall. It's a great calculator for most people; and so I'll give this a four star review.
