Just bought 2 rolls of this, very cheap. First time I'll be using colour film in a good no of years. What's it like?

I shot a pack of this film a while back and wasn’t impressed. I think grain and sharpness of Fuji’s 400 speed film is better. But this C200 is sometimes available at a good price and for that reason alone I would probably buy it again.
If you search my Flickr for C200 a couple dozen samples should come up.

It's a consumer grade film, whatever that means. 
I'm not much of a color film shooter either, but I like it for the same reason as WJJ3. It's an inexpensive film, great for sunny days, where you can burn through a lot of frames without worrying about it too much. Here are a few online reviews/comparisons, and I also have an album of shots I've taken on my Flickr. Maybe Huss will chime in as well, he seems to like this film, as I've seen him post quite a few samples in various threads on the forum.

Fuji C200 is great. I've made a lot of money selling prints using this film.
Haha, right on cue!
p.s. I bought a bunch of this film last year, when I found it very cheap on Amazon (US).

lol.
My experience with any film is what matters is who develops it.
If you give it to a one hour lab that has not cleaned its gear in a while, does not maintain temps etc or use fresh chemistry, you're going to get poor results.

Inexpensive camera + inexpensive lens + inexpensive film.

I like it if it is the same as I use: FujiFilm C200 36 exposures. It is a little more saturated than Kodak Gold 200. I have very little trouble scanning C200. And I like the colors and it's latitude:

First one is using a Lomo Perfekt U500 (Horizon)
Second one is using a Noblex 135 Sport.

This is a 100% crop from the 2nd pano shot, showing the grain and detail from Fuji C200
This was a hand held pic at about 1/30 sec IIRC

Fujicolor 200 is nearly my favorite film. It's very good, has fine grain, and has a very subtle color palette.
A few of my favorites from Fujicolor 200, all from my Zorki 4.

i dont like it at all. i prefer the 100 and 400
its not bad but i just dont like it as much as the 100 and 400.
this film stock gets repacked by nearly everybody. its probably fujis cheapest film stock
in my experience its great when you have good light but not as nice compared to the 100. in my case, i get the 100 and 400 for a lot cheaper than the c200 so theres not point for me to use it.
to be fair, i havent shot this in many years but thats what i remember. the sample pictures you see here pretty much sums up how that stock looks like.
the above is just my opinion.
