A bit of a "glass half empty" view, if I might say so!
Personally, I always liked Konica's colour neg films and was very disappointed when they ceased to be. Centuria 400 was my favourite in 35mm P & S applications and even though I've kept an eye on a well-known electronic auction site, I haven't been able to find any for a long time.
I look forward to trying the new films.
