Great little device 5 Dec 2010
Realy easy to use and finds the closest Pantone color on pretty much everyting I have measured. Battery life seems good so far.

Easy to use, highly accurate - an excellent tool for designers and artists 19 Jan 2012
By Nathan Andersen - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
The Pantone CAPSURE is an impressive little device. Small enough to fit in a pocket or a purse, what it does is capture precisely any color you like. It would be ideal for a designer or artist, and would make it possible to match a particular color out in nature or on a fabric or a wall to a specific paint shade or other design element. It also makes it possible to be sure that the photographic or video image of a given tone or shade matches exactly.

It's a very elegantly designed device, that's also very functional. The slide-on lens cap also doubles as a calibration plate, so that every time you turn it on you can calibrate it to be sure that the measurements are exact. You can record up to 100 different colors at a time before uploading them to the computer, and you can even add a brief audio reference to any given color so that you remember where it came from. When you capture a swatch with multiple colors in it, the screen will give you up to four different options to choose from - and once you have a color the device will display and allow you to record colors that are similar or even complementary in tone. The colors you capture are referenced both by their Pantone names (and there are several Pantone libraries to choose from) as well as their precise number in all of the major color spaces (sRGB, Adobe RGB, HTML, Lab, and XYZ values).

The LCD screen is large enough to see quite clearly the colors you capture (and will also display a photo image of whatever real swatch you have it pointed to). It's got a rechargeable battery, that lasts a long time; it comes with a handsomely designed case. It fits nicely in the hand, and there's a convenient wrist strap. Obviously, this is a high end specialty device. It's well designed and works great. For those who need it, it's well worth the price (especially when the alternative is buying and maintaining expensive libraries of color samples and swatches).
The Color Matching Tool 10 April 2012
By Bass Cadet - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Pantone knows color and this tool knows Pantone. While there are phone/tablet apps that can analyze colors on surfaces, those apps do not even come close to the functionality of this tool. First off, this device provides a calibrated reference to ensure true color readings. It also provides the capacity to acquire numerous samples (up to 100 with voice tags) and store them for later retrieval, either at a store or a computer. It also has many fan decks available for download (some are free while others are paid). In addition, for good measure, it takes multiple samples in both lit and unlit conditions from near infrared to ultraviolet. That is comprehensive. Any app relies on available lighting and is necessarily limited in scope.

The Pantone Palette software is likewise amazing. It lets the user import any image file, then analyzes and displays the colors. Of course, it can acquire live images with a connected Capsure. It can show how a color appears under different lighting, such as tungsten lamp, fluorescent, or daylight. By zooming in, the user can determine the color of virtually any pixel in the image. This is handy for interior designers, landscape designers, fashion designers, and the list goes on--just about anyone who uses color.
Pleasantly surprised with the Pantone CAPSURE Color Matcher ! 19 Mar 2012
By Victor R. - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was worried spending almost $600 for this product would be a mistake but after using the product for only a few minutes, I am glad I made the purchase. Color accuracy in my field of business (Fashion) is VERY important and this Pantone CAPSURE Color Matcher is far better than the Pantone color app available for cel phones which do not always account for natural light or a harsh yellow light when trying to identify the correct color you're looking to identify. I now can place the Pantone Capsure over a fabric swatch and easily identify the correct corresponding color in the Pantone color spectrum. I normally have great difficulty with identifying the EXACT color from the thousands of colors in the Pantone Matching System but this product makes color identification very easy.
