Strength:
-good skin tones
Weakness:
-certain warm colors were not as radiant I like this film for it's price and quality. I was surprised at it's ungrainy appearance, but I wish that the warm color tones were stronger-it kinda look muddy at times. Still, I use it mostly indoors w/ my zooms and no flash! I strongly recommend this film for anyone who likes taking pictures indoors or night time scenes. Similar Products Used: Kodak Max 800 |

Strength:
Very fine grain. Excellent color saturation. Good for sports and other "freeze action" situations. Blows up to 11x14 with no visible grain on a correctly exposed shot. Usually less expensive than Kodak.
Weakness:
None. An excellent overall film. I shoot it almost all the time unless I want a print over 11x14 such as weddings. Customer Service Never needed it. Similar Products Used: Kodak Max 800, Kodak 1000, Superia 400, Superia 200, Superia 100, Royal Gold 25, 100, 200, 400. |

Strength:
Fast, good color saturation for 800 speed film. Lots better than the Kodak 800.
Weakness:
Seems washed out compared to slower film. Not as vibrant as I'd hoped based on reviews I've read. I like this film but don't love it. I shoot it if I absolutely can't use flash, or if it's cloudy outside and I am stuck with a "zoom in the gloom." If I have a flash option the fastest I'll go is 400, and I really prefer Fuji Reala 100 or Kodak Portra 160NC. I'm going to try the pro version of this film next.

Strength:
Reasonable fine grain for an 800 film
Weakness:
None I have been suprosed by its fine grain for an 800 film. Recently I used this in an auditorium and pushed it to 3200. I was pleasantly suprised. More experience with this film will yield good results. Similar Products Used: fuji 1600 |

Strength:
Very fine grain, excellent color reproduction, good skin tones.
Weakness:
Pictures get mucky if you are a little short on light (just outside the range of your flash). This is a great film. Colors are excellent and pictures always come out very crisp. Don't ever worry about grain when considering this film. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Royal Gold 1000, Fuji Super HG 1600, Royal Gold 400. |

Strength:
I found the colors and action really came out awesome. I used this for night pictures of 4x4 trucks offroading in the middle of the night, 98% came out awesome, the 2% were photographer error. The action shots were amazing, vivid colors. Scanned in a number of them, came out perfect. the items in the pictures poped out of them like 3d.
Weakness:
Skin tones were a little washed out, think my flash contributed to that. Every offroad event I attend, Fuji 800 and 400 are in my bag. Kodak is good, but the pictures come alive better with the Fuji film. Customer Service Called Fuji for a little help with picking out a film, they answered all questions and put to rest some concerns. Thumbs up to Fuji. Similar Products Used: All Kodak print films for the last 8 years. Just switched over to Superia 400 and 800. |
