How does this stack up against the Casio FX 115ES Plus?

Casio FX115ES Plus is more convenient to use compared to TI-36X Pro Scientific Calculator as far as my experience with both calculators.

Had Casio for years. Picked it up when I started my engineering degree with Precalculus. It was OK then but confusing when I had to crunch matrices in Calculus. So I let it collect dust for 10 years. Shortly after I got TI89 and have been learning it through the years. Right now I am very proficient with the TI89. The 36xPro takes the familiar TI89 GUI and strips out some fancy features in order to qualify it for the lower price + American standard tests. I had it now for 2 days and learned it almost entirely. It's powerful enough to crunch 3x3 matrices operations. That said, would I ever go back to Casio? NOPE. Had Casio for years. Picked it up when I started my engineering degree with Precalculus.

Casio FX-CP400L Is better than the TI. It offers a large screen that is stylus navigated and comes with all the math operations you will ever need.

I used this with a Casio LK-230 and it worked fine. It was a good buy for the price.

the px100 is great as far as keyboard touch goes, and if you are a beginner I'd say it's fine to learn on. I would prefer an upright with good touch, generally yamaha or steinway only, but if you are looking between this keyboard and a crummy upright, I'd go with the keyboard. 3.5mm regular headphone jack X2-13 years as a competitive pianist

You should and the best for this keyboard is the Casio SP20 Piano Style Sustain Pedal

My advice to any question about a Casio keyboard is stay away from them. I found numerous people with problems seeking help but couldn't get it. Their repair service is third party. Mine was a G-note that no longer sounded correctly, something to do with the hammer action. I had sent in my warranty registration for a two-year period and they had no record of it. I would go with Korg or Roland.

Eric, that sounds good. I am stuck on that same decision.I know nothing about this except for what I can find on the web. My wife is going to be picking up piano, so I don't want to loose $500 (like all other good husbands out there but i do want her to have the best that we can afford... just in case she becomes a rock star and I can retire early!. Can I connect them both to computers? And is that a good option to have? I read on the Casio one you can but not on the P95 one. Also what about the noise interference on the casio some people talk about, have you experienced that? my last question do people install an amplifier to this as a normal set up for homes or just to play in gigs?Thanks Eric, that sounds good.

I have two of the Hohner 32Bs (one for home, one for friend's house). Both needed some tuning, a frustrating process, but worth it. The D'Luca needed the most tuning. It has a somewhat more piercing tone, if that's what you like, and more uneven touch response across the keyboard.

There is another Casio that you can buy that does have 88 Keys or you can buy others that have less Keys. It has to do with the size of the Keyboard that you want.

It has a one year warranty out of the box; then if you register online in the Casio website, you get another 2 more yrs of warranty. It kind off shows how serious Casio is in supporting the build quality of their newer Privia lines. So far I've never had any problem with it myself. As far as the keyboard action and feel, and the quality of the sound... the PX780 just blew me away (and I've been playing piano since a kid).

Hi Randy I paid about $16 for this same model when I purchased. Dont think it is worth $32. I believe the link you are pointing to is indeed Fx115-ES Plus.

I have the 18-200 and have enjoyed it. If you are absolutely sure you will never go FX, the 18-200 is a good choice. For less money, I would prefer the 28-300 instead of 18-300, if you ever want to move to FX.

Any Casio fx115 series calculator would be very good through college, and I recommend it for this reason. They can stick with this calculator through college and after when they take the PE (processional engineering) exam as this is on their list of allowed calculators. This way they will always be familiar with it and its operations.

Using a Taylor 210, with the recommended 13's. I went back and forth with the 80/20s and Phosphor Bronze. I prefer the 80/20s Bronze. I think they are just a little clearer. The Phosphor Bronze sounds balanced and real good, but a little deeper. But it all boils down to what suits you.

This is not the loudest Metronome and its loud enough for me, but I used it to play my Double bass with is a loud instrument, the beat is a computer not wooden beat, with i love from it, its that is a great multitask device, with the tuner and the play back is amazing, but i don't know if you are going to be taking advantage of those features, since is for playing piano.RubenEdit: I agreed with John

It's cheaper since it's the latest offering from Casio and they're trying to encourage current owners to update and prospective buyers to get the model that looks more "current". In some Asian countries you can still find the FX-991MS selling for $30 USD, but any newer models are around the $20 mark. In case you were wondering, the natural textbook display can be turned off and the calculator operates exactly like the FX-991MS. I use all of my Casio units in non-textbook mode for speedy entry.

It's better! Best addition I've found so far is Tune-In is embedded and works very well. Much, much better navigation and user experience than the GraceNote radio (which makes me crazy, it's so, so, so poor!) I just really hope the hardware is solid - this is my 2nd Squeezebox. Last one became ejunk.
