We took the same shots, & the same time of day. I went horseback riding with my dad. The Fuji pictures were more sharper, with much more vibrant colors. He used kodak 800 speed film I used Fuji 800 film. We had the same kind of camera. I would buy nothing but Fuji film. My dad switched to Fuji too.(after he saw my pictures)
But, for just vacations, stuff around the house, the 400 will do a great job. I use this film just normally for everyday stuff. Anything less it basically a waste of money. It isn't grainy when you enlarge the photos, and the colors are just outstanding. I use the 800 for the really important stuff though because I think the colors are more vibrant. I shoot at least a roll a week just of everyday life and this is the one that I choose all the time. I have a basket full.
This film has great color production and performance. The price is also just right. You can't go wrong with the Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400.
Modern 400 speed films are better in every way than the slow 100 speed films when I first started shooting 35mm. Grain and sharpness are very good for a fast film. Because of this I see no reason to shoot anything slower than ISO 400 these days. Of all the color films I like Fuji Superia the best; the colors are rich and saturated without looking unatural. This is now my standard film. I buy bricks of Fuji Superia X-TRA and onsies and twosies of everything else and my pictures have never looked better.
I've used this film on a few occasions under different lighting situations and I suggest everyone who's into photography from the level of beginner to professional to use this film. My prefered method of using this film is a combonation of exsisting light and strobe.including on camera flash. It's a great price and provided you process using a professional laboratory, the results will be extremely pleasing.
