I have ordered quite a few microfilms from the LDS (recently i ordered 10 of them!!) Yes they are images of the original documents. Some are easier to read than others. The beauty of seeing the records on the CCA site is that they are always available online, clear and you can easily jump back and forth from a baptism, marriage or death record at the click of the mouse. It takes patience to focus and roll through the microfilms which can only be viewed AT your local Family history center. Even so....ordering the films have been a great help to me and very valuable! You just have to think ahead of which films would hold the most needed info for you. In the past I've ordered a film or two and then regretted it just because I paid for an extended loan and only found one or two documents that i REALLY wanted. Good luck!
