Review 1 of 22

Price Paid: $6.00 from K-Mart

Summary:

A very good general purpose film for the money. I paid $5.99 for a four pack. This is great outdoors on a sunny day. The blues & greens are very good. Some say the reds are weak. Personally, I find reds accurate.

Strengths:

Very sharp and detailed. Great colors. The price for this quality is great.

Weaknesses:

Shadow areas are a tad darker than I prefer but, I think this is the fault of the ever down sizing cameras. The smaller we go, the less light gets to the film.

Similar Products Used:

Fuji HQ-100, 200, Superia 400 & 800 Kodak gold 200, max 400 and royal gold 1000

Customer Service:

Never had any problems. I always use and strongly suggest to everyone, use the best developing you can get. Don't take a chance on a cheap price for your pictures.

Review 2 of 22

Price Paid: $3.00 from local supermarket

Summary:

For an inexpensive general purpose film, I was pleasantly surprised with this product. This is perfect for people who want to load up their $75 point and shoot and take snap shots. I like the reds on Kodak films better, but this film gives you a tiny bit of those great fuji greens and blues. This film is a good value for the average picture taker who picks up film with their groceries.

Strengths:

Very inexpensive
Can buy it at any supermarket
Surprisingly sharp
Color is fairly good

Weaknesses:

Reds are a little weak. Contrast was very average.

Review 3 of 22

Price Paid: $3.00 from BX

Summary:

This is an ok film. Expert photogs. tell me to use slide film, but I haven't used any. Buy the way, I shot this roll with a point and shoot. Buy this film if you're low on money and want a good film for outdoor shots.

Strengths:

(This film doesn't have too many.)
-Enhances water blues and greens. Like water, just as long as the colors are from the outdoors and not around building or other.
-Bright and good with bright sunny days. (Not too bright though. Don't shoot pictures against bright reflective objects.)
-Cheap

Weaknesses:

-Reflective objects are way too bright.
-Grain in bright areas are not tight and easily visible.

Fuji Superia HQ 400
American Mercantile ISO 200 and 400. This is a generic brand. Don't use generic brand films!!
(All are print films)

Customer Service:

Review 5 of 22

Price Paid: $6.00 from walmart

Summary:

After comparing these prints with Kodak Gold 200 prints I will never use for people shots again. I like the vivid colors but that does not compensate for the grain in the prints. Kodak seems kind of flat outdoors but with a good polarizer you can get just as good color.

Strengths:

Available at any Walmart. Cheap, usually available in 96 exposure pack.

Weaknesses:

Very grainy in dark spots. You will notice extreme grain in individuals with a tan or dark toned skin. Not a people film.

Similar Products Used:

Kodak, Agfa, Konica
