Have not shot much color in last few years, when looking for film on the Freestyle site I came across both, labeled as new, don't know if that means new for Freestyle or new emulsion, or release of old emulsion with new name. Anyone used either?
Anyone try Kodak Gold 200 plus or Pro 100

Newly available from them probably.
Both have been around for a long time - Gold 200 is a standard amateur colour neg, Pro 100 was originally intended for portrait/ social markets in Mexico & a few other countries.
Might want to have a look at this thread too.

It was the only film available in Ontario in retail under normal price for sometime. I used it. It is Kodak after all, better than any Fuji, IMO 
.
But I don't know if it is still available as of now...

I use Gold 200 all the time. The color is neutral, not saturated like Ektar, so whether you like it or not depends on how much you like neutral colors. At ISO 200 I've found it certainly fast enough for even cloudy days; sometimes I use it at ISO 100 because I think the colors are a bit stronger.
I've also used Pro 100 in medium format - another neutral film.
For more speed and saturation (or so it seems) Ultramax 400 is good.

According to the Copy, different price and sold along side of Kodak Gold 200 , have not seen Kodak Color 100 in a while and now listed as Pro what ever than means.

They also feature wide exposure latitude- from two stops underexposure to three stops overexposure.

So what’s the deal with these films? First off, neither of them are new. Kodak Pro Image has been sold in Africa, South America and parts of Asia for several years, so inevitably some of it found its way into the hands of European shooters who started asking why it wasn’t available in their region. One quick trial later and Europe finally got it’s mitts on it last year, much to our delight.
Kodak Pro Image 100 is a colour negative film, and given it’s original target market in emerging countries it’s been designed to give great results at a low price. As a pro film, care was taken with how it handles skin tones, it’s fine grained and has good saturation. At 100 ISO it performs best when fed plenty of light, and it’s also good at handling heat and humidity - a perfect choice if you’re off on youri

Very succinctly stated. I couldn’t agree more.No comment......
with regards...
My mistake was calling Kodak Color plus Gold plus. I just ordered a roll of the Color Pro 100 and the 200 Color plus. The hype is that is both can be stored at room temps in hot environments, might be a selling point for me as I live in the low desert.
It's nice to see that Pro Image 100 is available again. It's a good, less saturated film that I find to my taste. Around 2012-13 it disappeared. I wonder if it was just unavailable in the US or if Kodak brought it back?
And this is my 1000th post!!!

I must have missed Pro Image 100, at the time I was shooting Prota 160 and prior to demise of Konica film line their version of Prota. From what I read on line it was marketed in South America, Africa and Asia, if true it was just released here in the States. I have a roll coming in, will give it a try next couple of days. Already miss Gold 100, hope this will a replacement.
I've got a few rolls of the Pro Image 100 in the fridge waiting until I give them a try. We'll see how that turns out. I'm hoping for more subtle saturation and finer grain than the Superia 200 I've been using a fair bit.
Kodak Color Plus has been available here (UK) for many years, and was often the cheapest film in local camera stores and supermarkets. It is Kodak’s budget film, equivalent to Fuji C200. Apparantly based on the old VR emulsion rather than the Gold version.
Quite a nice film though, grain is more apparent than Gold, and colours are less saturated and leaning towards yellow than the Gold range

Thanks, with 200 the gain should be manageable to an 8X10. The US supplier details in the product description that 200+ color palette is similar to Gold for ease of machine photo processing, meaning minilab? My roll arrive this morning, will try and shoot in the next week.
The colour palette of Gold is different to Color Plus. I find Gold tends to overdo brown/red.
To my knowledge, Gold was introduced at the end of the 80s and the product developed through the 90s in order to make amateur "snap shots" look more bright and colourful....compared to Kodacolor VR which came before Gold and renders cloudy days so as to look cloudy. Color Plus is the last iteration of Kodacolor VR. Photrio members have done side by side tests which are far from perfect but do show the differences. It's really a case of trying both and deciding which you prefer. Gold can lift a dull day to look more bright. It can also leave brick buildings and landscapes looking more brown than they ought. Color Plus is more natural in that it leaves cloudy scenes looking dull....but it does work best on bright days with lots of colour in the scene.

last time I used it was in the 1990s
