Summary:
This is the film my family always buys. My mother buys this stuff in bulk at Costco and shoots all our family photos on it (To clear this up, I'm not a mama's boy, I'm just 19 years old). Most of the pictures I've shot have been on this film. However, I have a slight problem with the blue hue this film tends to cast over the whole image. But still, most of the pictures look great. It doesn't have the eye-popping clarity of Gold 100, but the pictures that didn't get the blue cast on them look great nonetheless.

Strengths:
Availability Inexpensive Fine Grain

Weaknesses:
Blue Cast

Summary:
I shoot a lot of airshows and ran into a problem with this film. It's unacceptably grainy when there are large portions of the sky in the frame. In fact, I would have thought it was a fluke but it happened with three different rolls. What's unusual is the grain wasn't too bad otherwise. Except for that, the colors are ok as are the sharpness and contrast. I wouldn't use it for anything I deemed important.

Strengths:
Inexpensive Ok colors, most of the time

Weaknesses:
Unacceptable grain when shooting shots containing large areas of the sky (especially clear, blue sky)

Summary:
I will agree and disagree with people who wrote previous reviews. Yes this film isn't good...for SLR camera (which I use), because SLR owners are usually not casual shooters, and require more from their film. But for people who do not use pricey SLR's or expensive point-and-shoots, this film might be perfect

Strengths:
good skin colour cheap average to good sharpness

Weaknesses:
grain underexposure in cloudy conditions

Summary:
I agree with what some customers are saying about this film--it being very average. But you know what, sometimes, average is good. Especially if your just a casual shooter, or if your beginning and you really don''t know the quirks of a 100 ISO or 800 ISO films, or the certain qualities of the brands like Konika, Fuji, and the like. This is one of the films that I use most often, what got me is it''s sheer consistency (performs well in most, if not all, situations). You can also find it just about anywhere. Good skin tones, sharpness, colour saturation isnt too bad, and grain. With this film, your getting very average results. If you compare this to say, Fuji''s Superia 200, with this film your getting very average results with everything, whereas the Fuji tends to go extremes. Skin tones are anywhere from mediocre to untolerable, and it doesn''t perform as well indoors. But with those downs, your also getting highs--strong colours and sharpness. If you''re not experienced enough to pick out every subtle difference, or if you don''t plan on wanting to deal with those highs and lows, just get this film. Better deal for just about the same price.

Strengths:
- good skin tones, contrast. - decent colour, grain. - consistency: thats what this film''s all about.

Weaknesses:
- slightly cool tinge to every pic. - doesn''t perform well on overcast days for a 200 speed film--grays are very white, but if your a casual shooter, you can tolerate this.

Customer Service:
umm...uh...GO LEAFS GO!! lol

Summary:
This is probably not the perfect film in the world, but it is definitely not the "Worst film from brand name company" as suggested by the previous reviewer. Could it be so poor because you "got this one for free from store with new equipment purchase"? Colour, contrast, sharpness, grain, etc. are fairly good for a "consumer" film.

Strengths:
Fairly good for everyday use.

Weaknesses:
None.
