I have used Fuji 100, 200 and 400 quite a lot, and found no significant
differences between any of them. The only reason I use the 400 is in
the middle of winter when the light is generally poorer. The 400 does
go a little bit grainy, but that is only in *really* low light, when
sensible photographers should be driving home.
