Need help making a choice.
 
Well, now that I only have one class this semester followed by a summer break, I've decided to put in some much needed effort in my quest to learn some Japanese. I've been toying with the idea of buying an English<-->Japanese Electronic dictionary but I have no idea whatsoever on which one is reliable and will give me the most bang for my money. I figured that some of you here might know and have some experiences with these techs.
So any suggestions on a particular brand that's great for learning will be very useful.

Thanks in advance.

Casio generally makes the best ones. Try this:

Casio XD-GP9700

I have a Franklin and I'm really happy with it ^_^
never tried any other brands though so I have nothing to compare it with.

i'm using the sharp papyrus PW-LT300, and it has helped me a lot.

the thing that i like about it is the ability to input kanji through the stylus.

Thank you all for the reply.
I have looked through all of your suggestions and decided to settle with the Franklin as it seems more in my price range.
Once again, thanks for the help guys.

Canon Wordtank G50 for life, baby! It's been my trusty sidekick for many a year. But I love that if I know a part of a kanji, I can search by the pronunciation of that part in the kanji lookup function. I'm not sure if all newfangled 電子辞書 have that feature now or not, but it was a new think when I lived in Japan.
