The busy guys over at Imaging Resource have put their finishing touches to a review of FujiFilm's FinePix 1400 (an entry level compact digicam) and Sony's new interesting F505V (the 2.6 megapixel upgrade to their successful F505) of which they say "The sharpness of the Carl Zeiss optics show in the final images, and we really like the "real camera" manual-focus option (although we'd really like to see some sort of optical viewfinder, even if only a "gunsight" on the top of the lens barrel). The full 5x optical zoom is a big plus that we wish more manufacturers would adopt. "
