2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, October 11, 2009

By	Expat - See all my reviews

I just bought the EW-S200 (it's the same product without so many features) and I bought it for 179 at El Corte Ingles in Spain. I really wouldn't recommend this dictionary because it's too expensive for what is offers. The verb conjugation mode is incomplete. And it doesn't have all the words and features that I think a serious student of Spanish would need. For instance, several translations for adverbial clauses (e.g., de modo que, a menos que, etc.) are missing. And if you do find what you are looking for, you have to click too many buttons to find an example of a sentence that uses the word that you want, without providing a quick and easy translation.

I did find, however, an entry for "para que". But this is where it becomes none user friendly. You have to punch in "para" and you get list of several "paras". Within this list, if you click the wrong "para", you have to go back and try a different "para". When you do get the "para" you're looking for, you have a list of definitions. But most of the definitions do not have any translations. So when you do find the "para" that can define "para que", there is nothing telling you that it means "so that". But you can click another couple of buttons and you will be able to read an example of a sentence using the word "para que".

One great feature, though, about the Casio dictionaries is the screen. It's very clear and you can adjust the text size. There is also a backlight which is incredibly helpful. I don't think any of the Franklin dictionaries have this (the reason why I didn't buy a Franklin). The screens of the Franklin dictionaries are very difficult to see and simply out of date.

In my ideal electronic dictionary, I could just punch in "de modo que" and get one or two quick definitions without having to punch in several other buttons. I want a dictionary that I can use to read Spanish books with on the metro or waiting at the doctor's office. A regular dictionary book is pretty cumbersome to carry around in a purse. I'm returning this little Casio tomorrow and might pick up a Franklin.
