Great color, not overbearing. Good contrast. Sharp. Price (I paid less than $3 a roll for 36 exposures at B&H).

None.

I have to concur with all the reviewers on this product. It's a great film thanks to the tweaks FUJI made on it last year. It's actually a faster version of REALA. I use it almost exclusively to shoot my kids' soccer games. The extra 2 stops come in handy on overcast days, especially when there's action involved. I usually rate it at 320 to overexpose slightly (it gets corrected automatically in printing) to ensure the best grain/color.

Haven't used a similar (?) product in quite a while. Thinking of trying Kodak's Ultracolor 400.

Sharp. Clear. Grainless. Superb colors. Always a consistant top notch performer.

The quality of this film for the cheap price you pay is astounding. This film is absolutely great. I use this everywhere I go.

-great color -low grain -love the 4th layer :) -*- some people complane of a green tint if you get it developed right it is very nice-*-

-not bad for portrats but not recamended

i whent to the local photo shop (la bonne vie) to get a 80a filter and some kodak porta 800uc. they didn't have any of the porta in stock but they recamended some fuji, being a long time user of kodak i was a bit nerves. i shot a indoor birthday party with my minolta srT and flash. i got the pictures back and they are very nice i also used some fuji NPZ that and the grain is about equal (NPZ 800 so alittle grainy).

I've probably burned through hundreds of rolls of Superia X-tra 400 by now, and it is always so, so consistent. I love the color saturation. And the grain, well, there is none! Performs equally well indoors and outdoors. The very definition of an all-purpose film. Every once in a while I wander off to try other brands, but I always come running right back to the Fuji. Most recently I did a comparison with Agfa Vista. Vista is good stuff, but it is quite noticeably grainier than Superia. And Kodak Max? Forgettaboutit. Kodak High Definition may come closer, I have yet to test it as it's more expensive. For those who don't like the cool bias of Fuji, pay attention to your developer. Many cheap 1-hour labs jack up the blue in their processing, and if you get your Fuji developed there it's like getting a double dose of blue, which can look very artificial. A good knowledgeable lab will give you a very natural color palette.

I would call this a most trustworthy film. It renders colors and detail very accurately and naturally, and is extremely sharp and grainless. I have used it in a variety of environments, and even in situations of tricky lighting (or other conditions not ideal - say, shooting out of a moving train) when I don't expect the shot to turn out well, it always has me pleasantly surprised.8

I guess this film would be appropriate in a cheap camera and lens combination that lack the ability to capture proper color renditions (very "cool" lens). May also work well in heavy overcast conditions, but I would avoid using it in bright sunlight.

Inability to capture details in red/violet hue range. Colors are too vibrant, to the point of looking fake and over saturated. Greens have a very slight yellow cast to them.

This film is not for me. I find the colors too vibrant, almost to the point of being unnatural. In a recent outing at a nursery, properly exposed images of geraniums were washed out to the point that there was no definition to the flowers. In fact, colors on the order of red, magenta, violet, are rarely reproduced faithfully with this film. It does have very little grain to it, and it's cheaper than Kodak. But that's about all it has going for it. If you are serious about your picture being faithful reproductions, stay away from this film. What you will get is a bunch of saturated out images, to the point of looking like blobs of color. And In case you are wondering, I tested this film with $1300.00 worth of equipment when taking the pictures I refer to here. This summary is not based on some point and shoot camera. Additionally, my experiences have been consistent over time with Fuji Superia. Reala is a much better film, however Kodak Royal Supra 400 is fast becoming my favorite!! Great stuff that puts this Fuji to shame. I am giving this film two stars based on its grain, other than that it is of little value to me.

Fine grain, intense colors. Can be found anywhere

for the money, NONE!

This film will give you alot of bang for the buck. It's quick, fine grained, and colr saturation is great. Shot at the zoo recently. I came across some tropical birds with some amazing colors. I was curious how well the camera(elan 7e), lens(Tokina 24-200), and film could duplicate them. When I got them back I was shocked. The sharpness and grain was great. But most of all, the colors were exact. This is a great "shoot it all" film. The only film I think may rival it is the NPH 400. But the tones and saturations make them too hard to compare. For outdoors I like the Superia, and inside the NPH

After reviewing 4x6 digital, minilab printed results and comparing X-TRA 400 to Reala, X-TRA showed similar color and saturation (family trait), but much increased contrast to where highlighted green, tree leaves are washed-out, holding little detail. Other than that weakness, X-TRA compared quite favorably in 4x6's to Reala, IMO the finest print film in existance. No doubt, in larger print sizes, and especially with professional printing, the differences in sharpness, grain and color between these two films would become more evident, as Reala is really wasted by using less than the best processing and printing. Overall, though, as a 400 speed amateur print film, I rate it excellent. I believe it should even provide sharp, vivid 8x10's without too obtrusive grain, and the high contrast can be a benifit in many photo situations. My wife likes the qualities of this film and will continue to use it as her everyday film.

Excessive contrast for certain conditions; this film looks realy lovely used outdoors in overcast lighting. .

Used by wife shooting through a tamron AF 28-200 XR zoom, and shot alongside me shooting Fuji Reala (100) through a first generation Minolta AF 35-105 zoom, at the same outdoor scenes in bright sunlight.

Watch out, Kodak HD400! Fuji has nipped you in the butt with their NEW Superia Xtra 400-probably the best print film on the market today! Why? -VERY accurate colors with "just-right" saturation -Nonexistent grain, fine detail -VERY sharp -A great fast-action film (or anytime film!) -A price that can't be beat ($7 for 4 24-exposure rolls at Wal-Mart!) If you liked the old Fuji Superia 400 (which was also a good film), currently shoot the "yellow stuff", or want a lot of value for the money-give this new film fron Fuji a try-you'll love it! (BTW, this is the first review on this new film-I picked some up shortly after it came out and used it at the AirVenture 2003 airshow!)
