Compared to older Kodak 400 emulsions it has a much nicer grain structure: very tight fine pattern with no clumping. Contrast is a good deal more than the Portra series with color balance more neutral than previous attempts but still on the warm side of Fuji. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it is good enough that you should buy whichever emulsion is less expensive between Kodak and Fuji. But, you can buy 20 roll packs of Fuji all day for less than $50 so I don't think the great yellow father is going to match that.

It is a 6.3MP SLR, shares many components with the Canon 10D and should take Leica lenses with an adaptor. But it sells for $500 less. It is obviously intended for the affluent amateur but I believe it will eat into sales of the more expensive camera. What can Canon be thinking? Unless the 10D did not sell that much. Also, has anyone used the Kodak High Definition ISO 400 film? How does it compare to the older films? Or is a just a relabelling of an older, established film?
