I've never used Sensia 400, but I've shot more Sensia 100 than any other slide film. It's great stuff, and apparently it's considered the "consumer" grade of Provia.

The only thing you have to watch out for with slide film, is to make sure your exposure meter is accurate. Since slide film has a smaller latitude than negative film, your exposures have to be more accurate.

John Shaw gives a great example of how to check your camera's meter in his "John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide". If your meter is off, you just set your ISO to adjust for it, then shoot like normal.

Slide film will spoil you with it's colors and detail. If I had an E6 lab in my town, I'd be shooting a LOT more slide film!
