お安くなっているし、
ちょっとした調べ物程度に使いたい方にはｵｽｽﾒです。Sharp's PW-M800 is an excellent electronic dictionary for anyone who uses Japanese and English.
It is tiny and very fast.
It is not a new model, so it is heavily discounted.
It is very easy to use.
It has a Quick View (早見) button that instantly gives you a summary of long entries so that you can immediately navigate to the specific sense or part of speech that you are looking for (this feature seems to be unique to Sharp electronic dictionaries).
Best of all, if a definition contains a Japanese word that you do not know, you can use the Super Jump feature. Press the Super Jump (Sジャンプ) button, move the cursor to the beginning of the word, hit enter, move the cursor to the end of the word and hit enter again. You then get a list of any definitions found in the Koujien, the Genius J-E dictionary, the kanji dictionary or any other reference that contains the word. And yes, Super Jump even works for words containing kanji. I haven't seen any other electronic dictionary of this size with this capability. I used to have a small Sony DD-IC200 dictionary that had a jump feature, but it only worked for English words.
You may want to have a bigger electronic dictionary with handwriting recognition and larger dictionaries on your desk at home, but this one is small enough to carry with you wherever you go. The PW-M800 may not stand out at the flashy electronic dictionary displays in Akihabara, but I'm glad I happened to notice it. 辞書に何を求めるかにもよりますが、一般的な用途には十分すぎる機能です。
しかも小さい。常に仕事用のバッグの中に入っています。
少々古風な単語は出ていないこともありますが、携帯用としては申し分ないです。
英語は、発音記号が読める人なら、不自由はしないと思います。専門用語（物理学）
もしっかり出ていました。大きさは手の平サイズで邪魔になりません。小さいけれどキーは打ちやすく、検索解の表示も早いです。日常の一般的な調べ事なら、これで充分過ぎる程役に立ちます。他の電子辞書を使用した事がないので比較出来ないのですが、購入して良かったとお勧め出来る品物でした。
