Strength:
An excellent film. I used this film and a Nikon ED lens at 300mm to photograph a water moccasin swimming below a bridge. The 8x10 was very sharp.
Weakness:
None, except that it is not as sharp as Superia 400 Good film for low light and action. Customer Service Good Similar Products Used: Fuji Superia 400, 200, 100, Reala, Royal Gold, Gold 100, 200, 400, NPS, NPH, Portra NC and VC, Supra, Ektapress |

Strength:
Amazing grain for 800. Excellent colours. Works well with flash, easily pushed to 1600. Good skin tones (not a Reala!!)
Weakness:
When on the rim of flash coverage, the picture gets murky. If you have a camera with only 1/1000 max shutter speed ot below, think twice before taking it to a sunny place. The very strong lighting (in Israel for example) can burn the film. Excellent 800 film. Make sure you develop at a good lab. I have a lab with FUJI eqiupment and excellent workers, so the colours come out looking more than fine. I photographed a glass exhibit in Jerusalem at night, and then showed the pictures to a veteran photographer (he fought the Nazies). He couldn't believe it was an 800 film.

Strength:
Very fine grain for such a high speed film.
Weakness:
Some say skin tones become muddy, but I've never done people pictures with this film If you want to take pictures of birds, deer, and other animals from a distance this is an excellent film at a reasonable price. I've shot several rolls for this purpose and always been pleased. Similar Products Used: Fuji Superia 100, 200, 400 |

Strength:
Clear strong colors, small grains. Good for sports. Both shadows and luminated areas printed out well.
Weakness:
Yet to experience. May be a bit too colorful for ultimate realism. Bought a couple of rolls because 400 was out. Meant to photograph in the evening, but the happening had to be postponed till next mid day. So I had a too fast film in the camera - I thought.

Strength:
Exposure latitude. This film can be used day & night in todays pocket sized autofocus point & shoot zooms. The results were always great.
Weakness:
none The wide exposure latitude amazes me. The day pictures turned out surprisingly well for such a film speed. The night time pictures were also very clear & sharp. I used the 800 for night time parades at Walt Disney world. The night time parades turned out great. One person in our party used 800 day & night. Her pictures look great also. I can't imagine how you can go wrong with this film. The colors are very good. The pictures seem clear & sharp to me. For the price, this film is exceptionally good. Customer Service not needed. I use and recomend premium processing. The extra couple of bucks is well worth the results. Similar Products Used: Fuji 100, 200, 400, 800 |

Strength:
Very Fine Grain
Weakness:
None This is the probably the best consumer 800 speed film out there. I cannot tell the difference between this and the pictures taken with 200 or 400 speed . I was very with color as well, the Kodak 800 Max cannot hold a candle to this film. I will probably start and use this as my main indoor film - it is a winner !

Fujicolor Superia 800
Strength:
Incredible sharpness, saturation and enlargability.
Weakness:
No. That it's much less costly than Kodak's Max 800 notwithstanding, Fuji delivers! Colors saturated. Blacks black. Recently read that Kodak's Max 800 is really a true 640 and I believe it. That's fraudlent. Similar Products Used: Kodak Max 800 |

Fujicolor Superia 800
Strength:
Great Color! Better than Kodak. Great in low light and for freezing action, esp. since my hand isn't too steady with the camera.
Weakness:
Occasionally can look a little grainy if the light is too low. Best of the easily available 800 films and a great film if you shoot indoors a lot and/or like to freeze action or accommodate a shaky camera and still get clear shots! Similar Products Used: Kodak Gold Max 800 |
