Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kodak Advantix 400 Speed 25 Exposure APS FilmCustomer Review: Comparison between Fuji & Kodak APS films Summary: 3 Stars
I performed extensive tests (about 2 rolls each) of Fuji and Kodak APS films at 100, 200, and 400 ASA, using a Canon ELPH camera (the original aspherical zoom lens model). I shot a variety of outdoor scenes in a variety of lighting conditions (e.g. downtown skyscraper architectural with bright clear blue sunny skies, flowers and trees with both bright sun and shade, rock close-ups in overcast). I shot a few indoor locations, without a flash at ASA 400, with flash for the others. I examined the results for color, range, clarity and grain. Here's what I saw:For ASA 100, Kodak kicked ... . Clearly better color rendition, and much, much tighter grain and better detail in all the bright lighting situations, especially with panorama print. For ASA 400, I was pleasantly surprised that Fuji really outperformed the Kodak film. Fuji had vibrant blues and was good all across to the reds. Kodak felt washed out on the blue side, weirdly. Also surprising was that Fuji had tighter grain in bright conditions; they both looked grainy of course in lower light, but the Fuji somehow felt smoother or less chunky in the blown-up panorama prints. It also seemed to have better tonal range in both light and dark settings. Frankly, neither of the ASA 200 films seemed acceptable to me for outdoor shots; indoors with flash, both were OK and Kodak was maybe better color. Outside, they both felt lower contrast/saturation, subsequently cramped color, didn't have the tight grain of the 100, and didn't work as well in low light and indoors (without flash) as the 400. Just seemed not worth it compared to the two options.
Description of Kodak Advantix 400 Speed 25 Exposure APS FilmINDICATIONS: Features of Kodak 400 Film Advantix Versatility, APS400 25. Kodak Advantix Film Versatility 400 Speed 25 Exposures Share moments. Share life. 25 Per Pkg Film All conditions. Developed for zoom cameras and for freezing action shots, Kodak's Advantix 400 film features T-Grain Emulsion technology that produces finely grained color images in low-light situations or where extended flash range is necessary. Kodak Advantix 400 is scratch resistant and features drop-in loading and an automatic reject device that prevents inserting exposed or processed film, reducing the risk of double exposures.Negatives are returned inside the film cassette for easy storage, and index prints make it easier to reorder. An electronic charge stabilization agent provides better raw stock keeping, reducing the risk of color shifts as the unexposed film ages and minimizing the effects of high temperature and humidity on the performance of the films. A roll provides 25 exposures.
