Strength:

-Good price for a 400 film (Brazil)
- Work fine in poor lighting conditions

Weakness:

-Too Grainy
-Bad colors
-Mediocre shading tones
-Need good lab to get a picture of minimum decency

Don´t buy it, unless you can keep with the big grain and really need a fast film.

Strength:

Very good contrast
Images sharp
Captures color quite well
Inexpensive

A great inexpensive color film. I have used this for years & have always found at least satisfactory. I come back to it time & again. Granted, this is by no means the choice of pros. However, this is a great economical choice for those of us who don't have an editor to bankroll our film & equipment.

I'd reccommend this to anybody.

Strength:

Inexpensive
Consistant print quality
Good color & contrast
Good "jack of all trades" choice
Very versitile

Weakness:

???

This is at least a good film in spite of other reviews, IMO. Every bit as good as other films at at this end of the price spectrum. I reccommmend this to almost any ameteur. Great for travel or when you don't know where, when, or under what conditions you'll take your next shot- i.e. very versitile. O sure, you'd choose something of a higher quality if you have an editor bankrolling your film for you. However, this is a very good choice for the budget minded.
Don't compare it to pro grade films & you won't be disappionted.

Developed one roll of film in lab using Kodak Image Check. The pictures turned out out of this world with sharp color, excellent contrast and no sign of grains. Picture quality comparable to Fuji reala. Skin tone was superb. The flowers came out with razor sharpness and real color.

Strength:

I like Kodak's color response a bit more than Fuji's, and this film has good grain and resolution for the speed

Weakness:

runs a bit expensive for a film that's probably Kodak's supreme bestseller

If my lens and shutter speeds allow, I prefer to shoot slower films, but this is an excellent choice in this range for a general-purpose film. Royal Gold 400 is definitely better, but it'll cost ya.

Kodak's is good, but I haven't had any film questions recently

Strength:

I don't use this film, and I don't like it.

Weakness:

saturation, grain, thin negatives, not the best colour balance

This film has no excuse for existance other than its low price, but if you gotta have cheap, go Agfa, I think. If you want good at high speed, go Fuji. The only reason this film sells, I think, is that the big warehouse places carry it in 6 roll packs for $15.00.

If you gotta use Kodak Gold, use Royal Gold at least.

Strength:

sorry.... I don't like it really

Weakness:

color

In my opinion this film is expensive and the colors can't compare with Fuji's 400.
Sharpness is good, but what good is that if the colors aren't up to par?

Strength:

I like to keep Kodak ISO 400 in my camera so I'll be ready to take great shots regardless where I am: outside at soccer games or inside at family functions. It's very versatile.

Weakness:

No, any problems are usually caused by my inadequate set-up of the shot (shade, lighting not behind the subject, etc.)

It's the film I can count on. If I set the shot up correctly, I know I'll be happy with the results. They usually come out crisp and clear.
