Great color in any light

Summary
I dropped into Jessops to pick up some Kodak Royal - but the stuff they had was, er, dated (a week to go...) so I asked for advice. The salesrep recommended the Fuji Reala.
Now, I haven't had any recent experience of 35mm film from Fuji - the last stuff I tried would have been back in the mid 80's - results were good - but I ended up sticking with Kodak.
I told the salesrep what I wanted the film for - to take some outdoor pictures, of the autumn, at Westonbirt Arboretum. She had no hesitation in recommending the film – pointing out it was slightly cheaper than the Kodak Royal – and pointed out I would be more than pleased with the results.
Well, the results speak for themselves. In 20+ years of photography I have never taken four x 36 films with such consistent results. The colours are fantastic. They're not so much warm, but real. There's real depth to the photographs. There’s no blending or merging of tones.
Seriously, I couldn't believe the results when the prints came back.
Some pictures I took with a polarizer to get extra depth in sky/cloud backgrounds, and these pictures are simply awesome.
Everyone has seen slides taken with Kodak Ektra – well the Fuji seems to do as good a job with prints as Ektra does with slides. Not a similar job. But as good a job. Not worse. not nearly. But as good as.
The price is competitive. The value is great. I was simply stunned.
Thanks Fuji.
Strengths
Fantastic colour repro, spectacular sharpness. No blending, blurring or merging. Very, very sharp. Detailed.
Weaknesses
None.

Summary
I have to disagree about the "hard to find" and "need a pro lab" comments. I can always buy this from Ritz camera, B&H or my local camera shop. As for the lab...well Fuji mailers from B&H performed great as did 1 hour from Ritz Camera/Camera shop although very pricy. I haven't yet had the confidence to drop it off at K-Mart yet though.
Strengths
Grain, sharpness, shdow detail yet saturated.
Weaknesses
None really, it can't compete with E100vs, but what can. This is hans down the BEST colr neg film for any situation that I can think of.

Summary
All I can say is that you got to try this film. It’s simply the best 100 speed film in the world. In professional photography, your clients will love the results and the film will increase your business. When taking pictures for fun, your friends and family will be amazed. I primary shoot weddings, and forget Kodak, Fuji’s Reala film produces very accurate colors, especially skin tones. Whites are never washed out during wedding shots, and shadow detail is amazing. The secret is to shoot at ISO 64 for indoor flash photography and ISO 80 for outdoor photography. For indoor shooting at ISO 64 you need big powerful flash and fast sharp lenses, but it’s worth it. I recently went to a wedding, and decided to take pictures to present as a gift. The groom and bride thought they where better then the professional’s Medium format work… mine where all done in 35mm. The thought the colors where much better then the pros – who was using NPS 120. In case you’re wondering, the pro used a Mamiya 645 with 80/2.8 and flash, and I used a Minolta 7 with 28-70/2.8 G lens and a 5400 flash.
Strengths
Very accurate colors
Perfect skin tones
Extremely high resolution film
Excellent shadow detail
The very best print film you can use
Weaknesses
Performs best when overexposed 1/3 – 2/3 stops
YOU NEED A GOOD (PRO) LAB TO BENEFIT
