Review 1 of 23

Price Paid: $5.00

Summary:

I used this film whenever Fujicolor Superia 100 wasn't available. It delivers very good results. The grain is not as fine as Superia 100, but it isn't too coarse. Colours are quite balanced and don't have the saturated reds of Superia 100. Overall, this is a very good film that works in most conditions.

Strengths:

-Good colour -Medium contrast -Reasonably fine grain -Readily available and versatile

Weaknesses:

-Not as sharp as Superia 100

Similar Products Used:

Review 2 of 23

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

Overall excellent value for money for an 'everyday' film. I used to use Fuji reala and NPS/NPH, but superia 200 I find equally as good as NPS if not better, providing excellent colour and clarity.

Strengths:

vivid colours, little grain, and value for money pricing.

Weaknesses:

none

Review 3 of 23

Price Paid: $5.00 from Boots

Summary:

I came to Fuji after some terrible experiences with Kodak. Kodak do great movie film but seem to have taken their eye off the ball with still film. I've used the Fuji film all round the world and every time I'm amazed by just how good it is. Don't forget that the quality of the printing makes all the difference. A good digital minilab is essential. In the UK, Boots do a good service but make sure they do it in-store on a Fuji digital minilab. If the cost of this or any other film is an issue, you can always get cheap film but it only devalues your time!

Strengths:

Colour saturation Colour accuracy Exposure latitude

Weaknesses:

None - providing you are OK with well saturated colours.

Similar Products Used:

Kodak various - not in the same league.

Customer Service:

Fine.

Review 4 of 23

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

I hear mixed results from people with this film..but with me, you have to understand that I use a point-and-shoot camera. From my experience, not just with my P+S camera but with other peoples'', I''ve learned most P+S cameras take pics that have a slightly cool tinge to every picture. So with this film, I find it''s tendency to oversaturate reds (though not as much as its 100 ISO counterpart) balances the spectrum perfectly. Your getting a better deal with this then the 100..the pictures are just as sharp and grainless, while the contrast and oversaturated redness is toned down. You''ll also get slightly better performance indoors.

Strengths:

- excellent sharpness - low grain - decent skin tones - price/easy to find - very, very strong colour saturation

Weaknesses:

- reds still a little oversaturated

Price Paid: $0.00

Summary:

I am not an expert. When i started i decided to use only Fujifilm. I used this film only yesterday and the results are good. Saturation is excellent and colours are true. For what it costs, i dare you to find a better film.

Strengths:

Nice saturation Excellent colours Price (i buy 3 pack for 16$NZ, when 1 roll of NPS costs 14$NZ) Reasobale grain

Weaknesses:

Skin tones - under mixed lightning people look red, just like after tragedy on a sandpaper factory.
