Fujifilm is continuing the tradition of reincarnating one of its flagship mirrorless cameras for a more wallet-friendly version — only the 2017 budget shooter has much more in common with the pricier model then ever before. Today, Fujifilm announced the X-T20, an update to the X-T10 that puts several features from the $1,600 X-T2 into a $900 camera.
The X-T20 updates not just the sensor and processor of the older X-T10 but the autofocus system, too. The APS-C X-Trans sensor (which is Fujifilm-talk for a camera without the optical low-pass filter) has been bumped up from 16.3 to 24.3 megapixels, but the the third generation of X-Trans sensors are about more than a few extra pixels.
The X-T20 uses a larger part of that sensor for autofocusing, improving the focus speed to .06 seconds, according to Fujifilm. The X-T10 also now offers five different continuous autofocus modes — by allowing you to choose how the subject is moving, the tracking accuracy of the improves.
That updated sensor goes hand-in-hand with a new processor now capable of handling 4K video at 30 fps and snapping stills at five frames per second. Fujifilm’s popular film simulation algorithms will also work with that 4K video as well as the still frames.
While the X-T20 sits at nearly half the price, the camera’s sensor, processor, 4K recording, and custom continuous autofocus come directly from the X-T2. So what differences warrant such a dramatic price difference? The X-T20 doesn’t have weather sealing and the mechanical shutter speed is only half as fast at a maximum of 1/4000, with a burst speed using continuous autofocus of 5 fps instead of the X-T2’s eight. Compared to the still cheaper Fujifilm X-A3 and X-A10, the X-T20 sits as a happy medium between budget and pro-level with the X-Trans sensor, a viewfinder, and 4K.
Along with the X-T20, Fujifilm also announced a new X-series 50mm prime lens — though the weather-sealing makes it a better pair for the X-T2. The new Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR is a compact prime weighing in at about seven ounces. Fujifilm says the lens uses an inner focusing system for quick, quiet autofocus.
Both the lens and the X-T20 are expected to ship next month, with the X-T20 retailing for $900 body-only in Buy Now or Buy Now , for $1,000 with a Buy Now or $1200 with a brighter Buy Now . The new 50mm lens lists for $450.
Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.
Sigma FP2 brings faster shooting and 6K video
A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
We are nearing Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, which officially run October 6 and 7. But there is no need to wait until the sale begins to start looking. Early offers are already live, and camera gear is one category where I found enough worthwhile discounts to put together a proper creator-focused list.
I’ve deliberately gone wider than interchangeable-lens cameras here. There are pocket and action cameras, a 360 camera, an instant camera, two wireless microphone systems, and a pair of webcams covering very different budgets. Prices were checked on October 2, and as always with Amazon, they can move quickly.
