Velvia is super-fine grain, very contrasty and saturated - a wonderful landscape film. Provia is less contrasty and less saturated. It's also a good film but I prefer Astia. Sensia is the same as Provia but is made for the amatuer market since it is not pre-aged. You could always buy it and wait awhile before you use it :) Hope this helps.
