In recent blockbusters like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Spectre, analog film has been making a small comeback in Hollywood, thanks in part to directors and cinematographers who have an appreciation for the medium. This isn’t lost on Kodak: The company is continuing to produce film for the movie industry, and it is looking to bring back Super 8 film to consumers with an incredibly sleek Super 8 camera.
Everything about the camera’s design — the shape, leather pistol grip, iconic logo — harks back to Kodak’s history. It comes with a C-mount 6mm Ricoh lens, with an optional 8-48mm zoom, and you focus manually. Yet, despite shooting on film, it’s very much a modern camera. Created by one of top industrial designers, Yves Behar, the camera, made out of high-quality machined metal, has digital connections, an SD card for storage, a built-in microphone, and a flip-out color viewfinder – more like a modern camcorder than a vintage Super 8. Behar has essentially created a beautiful device that blends both past and present.
Billed as a next-generation film camera, Kodak is leveraging the popularity of filmmakers such as J.J. Abrams, Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Quentin Tarantino – all who still shoot on film, and many who got their start shooting using Super 8 (heck, Abrams even made a film called Super 8). It seems Kodak wants to inspire a new generation of filmmakers who grew up with digital, but there has always been fans interested in prolonging the format; it also marks its upcoming 50th anniversary. With the push from the aforementioned filmmakers and the success of their movies, perhaps we could see resurgence for film.
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.
