Fuji makes great film and this is a solid performer for general use.My only concern is that I've had some issues with the film being to tight and it some rolls have been a little hard to load or to catch on the winder (its simply harder to pull out of the cassette). My main reason for preferring this film is because, as far as color goes, this is rich color with a reasonably high ISO. Just be careful loading and it should all go smoothly. Half of that is user error, but it seems like I have to try more often to get this film to catch in the mechanism (and in an point and shoot camera you probably won't notice if the film isn't actually advancing). I'm not really that worried about grain since that's part of the draw of shooting film nowadays (at least it is for me).When I shoot on film, I use a Pentax ME Super without a flash, hence why I use ISO 800, since when I'm at f/2.8 I can shoot comfortably in a reasonably well lit room. And when I'm shooting on overcast days, this film still keeps the pictures looking good.The final reason that this is most often in my camera (if I'm not shooting Kodak bw4oocn) is because its affordable and readily available.
Le hace a uno pensar que la película todavía sigue siendo una opción para fotografiar. Es una película muy elástica en su capacidad para exponer las sombras y las zonas muy iluminadas. Un buen balance de color y una plástica muy buena en los tonos intermedios.
Don't even bother with the Kodak 800 speed films. So much so, that I generally use this now instead of 400 speed films if shooting with focal lenghts beyond the standard 50. It's also quite inexpensive. This is a pretty amazing film, all things considered. Though more readily available, this Fuji product is /way/ superior in every respect. Colors are as vivid as it gets for a film this speed, and it can be used outdoors. It's fast with less grain than some 400 speed films, imo. This film is very versatile.
My only complaint is minor - caucasion complexions tend to appear slightly pale, unless focus and exposure are set especially for the skin. My specialty is photographing children at play outdoors, and this film has become my "default" film when I can't predict sun/shade situations. A few years ago I discovered by accident that this 800 film produces vibrantly colorful prints in all levels of light. That's not enough to keep me from using the film, though. I know I'll be fine no matter what conditions are when it's picture time. Now I use it in bright, sunny locations without hesitation, as well as indoors, and with flash. Outdoor scenes with lots of greenery are especially saturated with color.
It can be light at times, depending on the developer, but all-in-all, I'm VERY satisfied with this film and buy it quite frequently. I use this film in my Canon Rebel and just love it. I can't recommend this film enough. Most of what I use it for are photographs of family, but it is also used for items pictured on ebay and it just does a wonderful job. Most of what I take looks like a postcard with this film. I've photographed things in the worst lighting conditions with no problems whatsoever with this film.
