Graphing onto photographs with the Prizm is enhanced by a feature called “Picture Plot.” Picture Plot allows users to use the arrow keys to plot points directly onto the picture and then use regression tools to find lines of best fit (as well as many other functions). The Nspire displays both the photograph and the equation on the screen at the same time, improving the experience of guessing and checking until you arrive at your final answer.Ĭasio Prizm: While I give the edge to the Nspire CX’s display, the Prizm’s is still more than adequate. You can graph onto the photographs via a guess and check method.

Color Displays and Graphing on Photographs If the Casio Prizm CAS is released some day, and I suspect Casio would like to see that day come, perhaps I’ll write an article comparing it to the TI-Nspire CX CAS. For the sake of this article, we are comparing the TI-Nspire CX to the Casio Prizm. This really is an apples to oranges comparison. So as you read this “comparison” article, keep in mind the difficult task I’ve had in writing it. Texas Instruments has taken a very different approach with the TI-Nspire platform, moving past the traditional graphing calculator that they popularized to a more “computer like” calculator. The Casio plan was to create a more up to date and easier to use version of the traditional graphing calculator. After more than 10 years of dominance (if you count the nearly identical TI-83), the TI-83 and TI-84 look outdated compared to modern electronic devices, and those users will have to go somewhere as the sun starts to set on the TI-84. Instead, the plan was to try to pick off the TI-84 users. Casio and Texas Instruments have both cast a vision for what a graphing calculator looks like in the 21st century, and they are very different visions.Ĭasio has been very forthcoming that they never intended for the Prizm to beat the Nspire at its own game.
On the other hand, I’ve spent a lot of time working with both the Prizm (or fx-CG10/CG20) and the TI-Nspire CX, and I’ve got to tell you, they’re very different devices. They are the flagship graphing calculators for Texas Instruments and Casio.

They’re the world’s first full color graphing calculators, both with the capability to graph on photographs, both released within a few months of each other in 2011. I’ve heard the question many times over the last few months: “What’s better, the TI-Nspire CX or Casio Prizm?” It’s a natural comparison.
