Our Fuji’s defaults are pretty good, but iPhone’s exposure and white balance on auto is light-years ahead of our Nikon gear.

Fujifilm is deservedly known for being very good at color.

Although their digital cameras' emulation modes of their old film stock are kinda lame. They also make those weird non-Bayer-format cameras which I'm not sure are worth the price.

I know it was the fave of a lot of nature photographers and the like, but I never liked the greens in Velvia in particular. If I were going to use a slow film, I'd use Kodachrome 25--which had about the same working ISO. (That said, at some point, Kodak improved the look of 100 ISO Ektachrome and that's pretty much all I used from then on.)
