Provia is less saturated than Velvia but still quite saturated. It has somewhat more tonal range and is more pleasing to the eye when viewing lots of slides in succession. Velvia can get a bit overwhelming. Provia gives very blue skies with 35mm Summicron without polarizer. I get best results rating it at 125. I've tried a couple rolls of Astia and can second the other comments on it.
