 Not what I expected October 14, 2008
Let's face it...it's only a calculator! However, for the price I thought I might get a little bigger and better quality. The buttons have a cheap feel and the size is smaller than your typical desk calculator. If you really don't care then just get it...it's only $10, but if you want a little better for your money then shop your local office supply store.
 Great Calculator October 12, 2008
Even though the calculator fits in the palm of your hand I find it easier to use than some of the larger ones. Highly reccommended.

I first saw the CANON LS-82z calculator at my local bank. It
was anchored to a table, so no one would take it, and was
there for people to tally up deposits and/or withdrawals. It is
so little, so useful, so -- well, cute -- that I found myself
anthropomorphizing it, (that is, turning an innanimate object
into something which is living...at least in my imagination,
and falling completely in love with the adorable little
calculator at first sight, (and use!). I wanted so much to take
it home with me, (as a calculator -- AND pet!) Perhaps it's
due to the fact that I live in a no-pet building that helped
foister these, er....feelings in me, but the fact is that it IS
a rather small and compact little calculator, (only 3.5 x 4.5 x
1.2 inches in size), has easy-to-use hard, (but not too hard)
plastic keys, and a nice big 8-digit display! It also seemed
just the right size fit in my hand...though, of course, tethered
as it was to the table in the bank, I couldn't try it out. No --
I did NOT hear the little calculator say, "Take me home with you!"
-- but it was fun to IMAGINE it was saying this. I also knew the
bank had probably searched very carefully to find the right model
calculator to put on the bank table. So -- with this free advice
that this was a good calculator, (which the bank had unknowingly
given me -- and every other bank customer!), and my own immediate
liking to it -- though I knew I couldn't take the bank's model
home with me, I did the next best thing: I wrote down the model
number, and looked for it on the internet. Sure enough -- there
the calculator I had seen in the bank, (or maybe one of it's
first or second cousins!), was there on Amazon! Immediately, I
liberated....er, that is, bought...two of them, hoping, (in my
imagination, that is), that these little calculators would find
a happy home in my condo!
When the calculators arrived, I took one out of its protecive
plastic casing, and immediately put the number "107734" on it.
Then I turned the calculator upside down. As with any calculator,
the word "heLLO!" appeared on the screen. (There's a whole book
of these calculator tricks, which I mean to look up on Amazon
as at the earliest opportunity!)
Well, the little Canon LS=82z does fit nicely in the palm of my
hand, and works just as well in my home, as it does at the
bank. The keys are HARD plastic -- which means they do NOT get
soft and difficult to use after a while. However, "hard" does
not mean "difficult" here -- the keys are a pleasure to use!
They are small enough to keep the size of the calculator down,
but big enough for adult hands to use. And -- this IS a solar
AND battery calculator. You can always test this on any calcu-
lator. Just be sure the calculator is on, and showing numbers.
Then put your finger over the solar-battery panel. If the
numbers fade, then the calculator is a solar-powered calculator,
only. If they do not fade, then obviously a battery is in the
calculator, too -- as is the case here.
It's true this calculator has only a three-key memory, and some
people find this a great inconvenience. To me, it's only a very
minor inconvenience, and one I can easily live with. The "change
-sign" (from plus to minus, or vice versa), key is strangely printed
on the same key as "%". Sadly, there seems no way to use the
"change sign" function, as directions are not given on the back of
the package, and there are no other directions given. I don't
change the sign, often -- so again, this is a minor inconvenience,
for me. But if you must change signs from plus to minus, or vice
versa, often, I sadlty must suggest you "adopt" another calculator.
The biggest disappointment, though, is that, although this IS
powered by a battery, (presumably a button model), as well as solar
power, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SCREWS, ON TOP, IN THE BACK OF THE
CALCULATOR. This means that it's all but impossible to take the
battery out, and one will be left, eventually, with the choice of
either using this as only a solar calculator, or getting another
calculator altogether. A mean thing to do to both calculator...
and user.
Still, I plan to use and enjoy my litte LS-82z. And if I anthropor-
morphize once in a while, what of it? Sometime back, an entire
TV show, ('WONDERFALLS'), was based on this idea of anthropormorph-
ism. It stayed on the air only a short time...but during that
time, made money for everyone connected in its production!
The Zoologists Choice. August 7, 2008

Heralded by Zoologists and some more extreme factions of Entomologists as the single most useful field instrument in the history of Zoology, this nifty little calculator performs animal specific calculations and permutations.
In order to enable the patent pending Animal Function, shake the calculator thrice, then twice in a turnwise rotation (Clockwise if you are in the northern hemisphere). Voila! The calculator will now perform calculations for all your favourite animals and even the ones we don't like.
Ever wanted to know what an elephant divided by a hen to the power of antelope equals? This calculator will provide the answer. (Hint: The answer does not contain any decimal points) And simply turn the calculator upside down and you can now perform insect specifc calculations - up to 10,000 ants long!
Canon, as the famous song goes, You are Simply The Best! for having created a zoologist specific calculator.
 Battery Please April 22, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think this is nice, but I have yet to find the alkaline battery this requires. I have been to 2 stores and they didn't have the particular kind needed. So if you want to use it right away, don't order it. But if you don't mind driving around to find the battery it needs, then it is probably fine. I should have just driven to a store to get a calculator with a battery.
