Sharp, cheap and available everywhere. Very good general purpose film, Vivid color.

For the price I pay, I think its really value for money, so I can't compare the quality to other professional film.

Its the cheapest film in Malaysia, so yes I'll be using this for a long long time for general purpose shooting unless I find another cheaper product.

Good color saturation. A warm film that is well suited to people pictures.

I like it. It does quite well for people pictures, particularly with a two flash set-up. Photos of women especially come out with flattering skin tones. Little grain for any normal application. It is also relatively cheap, so that helps.

ok color, nice for all around use

colors tend to wash out in lower light

Good over all film for different locations, especially when shooting a variety of subjects in a given location.

I agree with the review below (Jason A.) that this is a very good performer- very good with skin tones. For the price, this the the best general purpose film- you can buy loads of it for about 1.50 a roll. It has accurate skin tones and saturated colors- all natural. May the greens are weaker than Fuji film, but colors are so much more natural that I use it if there are any people in the pics. When I go general snapping, this is the film- when other situations dictate, then I use something else, but this is the starting film for me. Very good sharpness, but more importantly, smooth color gradations (skin tones, too) for a 200 speed film.

Good general purpose film. Colors come out very warm. Does well for indoor people pics.

Lacks some sharpness.

Very consistant film. Seems to have a lot of gold/yellow to it that does well for indoor warm shooting. This was the film I started & stayed with for a least 6 months. There are better films out there that do a lot better in certain areas, but this a good, cheap, all purpose film.

not flashy, the old stable film

This is the most consistent film I have ever used and almost anywhere you buy it, it performs the same. Skin tones are the best in class, colors are saturated without oversaturation, and sharpness is high. It's cheap, too. There is a lot of hoopla over 400+ speed film, but only Royal Gold 400 classifies as excellent. The rest aren't any better than Gold 200 by a far margin. Superia 400 is has very high color saturation, but skin tones and color accuracy suffer. I have not tried slower Superias, but places that sell slower Fuji film usually stock with the older Fuji formulation(I call it the blue film). Gold 100 is not as flexible speedwise, but 200 skin tones are much warmer. Stick with reliable Gold 200, which is sharp, cheap, color accurate, and with good skin tones. For information only: Kodak Print Grain Index:RoyalGold400=39,Gold200=47,Gold100=45,RoyalGold200=41 (Kodak says a differential of 4 is noticable viewing a 4X6 print from 14", if farther then even less noticeable). Of course, use Kodak paper for best saturation and decent printing otherwise film almost doesn't matter. ***if anyone has experience with BIG enlargements with Color Print Films, please post experiences.

In your face colour, low grain for a budget film, availability

Sometimes it overcooks the colour.

I use this quite a lot. It's especially useful for jazzing up dull scenes where it wrings out every last drop of colour. However, in bright and colourful places it can give false looking results. Fantastic value for money along with the Fuji 200.

Cheap, widely available, no grain, not too bad in low light situations.

This film really makes certain lenses sing and performs alright with everything.

This is a cheap, all purpose film, that for some reason has an affinity for certain lenses. When I run this through cameras with Rikenon lenses, I have never seen more brilliant color rendition, which does not seem to be as noticable on other lenses, although results are generally good. I've noticed the same thing on some of the Lomo pix posted in the Viewfinder section. I'd rate this right up there at the top with VX200 (very economical and vibrant color) and Afga 200 HDC (works good in old Prakticas, especially). All are excellent values for the bucks.

Warm, rich skin tones, not too red like Fuji Superia. Colors saturated but not unrealistic. Price compared to Royal Gold.

Speed, maybe. A little more expensive than fuji.

I have three sets of prints in front of me from a recent vacation. The Gold 200 prints have great skin tones and colors that are not saturated to the point that they bleed over each other. The fuji superia prints look terrible in comparison, I am speaking of the skin tones mostly. I was a fuji fan before this little experiment, now I know better. If you want people in your photos to look like they belong in a cartoon, buy Superia, if you want them to look like people buy Kodak Gold.
