I started out buying both Kodak and Fuji film. Quality is about the same to me between the brands but Fuji has been the better monetary value. I just got my first rolls of film developed from the Fuji Superia 800 film I bought a few weeks ago. I was amazed at the vibrant color and the overall clarity of the pictures. It is so versatile, you don't have to worry about having the right type of film in regards to lighting or motion. It basically eliminates having to buy more than one type of film depending on different situations. My in-laws have a higher quality (and much more expensive) camera than I do and I have always been envious of the quality pictures they get. I finally can get those types of pictures with this film! I won't use any other film from now on! EXCELLENT BUY!

I chose Fuji Superia 800 for use in my Canon EOS RebelX 35mm with a 80-300mm zoom lens. I enjoy doing portrait photography of young children, and sometimes experiment with films. This film provided for great color saturation. The greens, blues, and yellows just leap from the page. Although the yellows seemed to be a bit heavy in some of the pictures, it still provided for a great shot. This 800 speed film does become a little grainy when enlarged to 8x10. However, for the money, it's nice to know I can shoot my friend's football game and get some great portraits of my nieces on the same roll. This film is great, because you can't always plan for what photo taking opportunities lay ahead.

A few years ago I discovered by accident that this 800 film produces vibrantly colorful prints in all levels of light. 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.

My only complaint is minor - caucasion complexions tend to appear slightly pale, unless focus and exposure are set especially for the skin. That's not enough to keep me from using the film, though. My specialty is photographing children at play outdoors, and this film has become my "default" film when I can't predict sun/shade situations. I know I'll be fine no matter what conditions are when it's picture time.

Seeing as how I don't develop my own film, I depend on the developer and the developer makes prints at the exact film rating. This is definitely good film - Fuji does bring out the color in my pictures! Despite the graininess of ISO 800, the results were sharp too.

I use this film in my Canon Rebel and just love it! 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. 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. 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. I can't recommend this film enough!

This is a pretty amazing film, all things considered. It's fast with less grain than some 400 speed films, imo. Colors are as vivid as it gets for a film this speed, and it can be used outdoors. This film is very versatile. 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. Don't even bother with the Kodak 800 speed films. Though more readily available, this Fuji product is /way/ superior in every respect.

Film is disappearing fast now. Just not economical to produce,stock and sell I guess. Digital is the thing now.

This film is 800 ASA. It allows you to use higher shutter speeds and tighter apertures so you can get better pictures in lower light situations or to stop motion of a busy subject (kids). I think the relative merits of different films and brands of film is becoming moot. ANY film you are able to find will be good film!

Get some now and keep it in your fridge for later.

I was pleasantly surprised as I delve back into film photography, at how flexible, colorful and grain-free is this Fujifilm Reala 800! I used it for the first time it in my modern Zeiss Ikon 35 mm super-gorgeous rangefinder w/ 50mm Planar f2.0; 8x10 enlargements showed zero grain and a wonderful almost 3D quality in the prints. I really am pleased with my results vs my digital equipment. In a nutshell: a little contrasty, beautiful color, sharp, really forgiving (exposure) no visible grain and a wonderful realistic 3D quality. Also handles indoor lighting really well without the funky green tint that I've seen with other films. I haven't tried it outdoors (may be pushing my luck) but indoors it has been awesome!

My main reason for preferring this film is because, as far as color goes, this is rich color with a reasonably high ISO. 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. 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). 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). Just be careful loading and it should all go smoothly.

As A Professional Audio Engineer, And An Amateur Photographer, I Take Many Pictures At Concerts...Kodak Is Good, But Never Comes Out Very Colourful, And The Generics Just Plain Suck...Fuji Film Really Brings Out All The Coloured Lights...The Oversaturation Of Colour Is Great, But Sometimes Unwanted...Agfa Is Good All Around Film, With Excellent Sharpness, But Tends To Be Expensive...Fuji Film Rules...
