More lattitude into shadow yes, but highlights get blown faster than almost any slide film I have used. I never liked Sensia because I felt it did this too easily. Better to deliberately under-expose digital a fraction IMHO. In fact I am thinking about leaving the exposure compensation permanently set to a negative value - not decided how much yet...
