Strength:

At proper exposure adjusted for the highlights, this film retains detail in the shadows. While the dyes in this new film generation visually tend to the red, IT8-calibrated scanning delivers absolutely natural colors. Skin tones come especially natural, and the exposure latitude (or more precisely, the dynamic range) is unusually wide for a slide film. Grain appears negligible, and sharpness puts high demands in the choice of a suitable lens.

Weakness:

Not comparable to highly saturated films, such as the Velvias.

Strength:

As I stated above, Sensia is Astia for the masses...and will record and reward the "masses" with perfect skin tones, whatever those skin tones may be. Recently, I used Sensia 100 for an indoor product shoot, and the results were first rate, in fact the shots have the look of Astia, with that great shadow-smoothing lack of excess contrast and correct colors all along the scale.

Weakness:

Not the "first call" slide film for calendar scenics (except as noted above)

I rarely use amateur slide films, and never for assignments such as product illustration, for several reasons, as I prefer--no, demand--the stable repeatability of color rendition, saturation and contrast produced by certain professional transparency films I have come to know and love. So why am I writing a review of an "amateur" slide film? Well, for starters, Fuji Sensia 100 is actually the consumer released version of the pro film, Astia 100--they even share the same product code, RA for Sensia, and RAP for Astia (the "P" is for "professional." So, like grapes, the pro film is plucked and refrigerated at just the right time, while the amateur film is left to ripen on the vine, so to speak. And, like Astia, Sensia has extremely good whites, grey scale and fleshtones, with contrast that I would rate as slightly subdued. Bright colors are rendered extremely faithful in hue, but with not quite the saturation that other true-color films, like Provia for example, have, perhaps making it not the best choice for vived scenic shots. Yet, scenes with shadows and deep shade will not see those sections gain a blue cast, and snow is rendered immaculate white, just as it should be.
