I take a lot of pictures on a daily basis. And while I usually get to offload them in the comfort of my home, sometimes I need to export as quickly as possible. Maybe even straight from my phone.
That’s where my new favorite SD card reader comes in.
This Lexar USB-C dual-slot reader handles SD cards and microSD cards, with the ability to read up to 312MB per second. That’ll depend on the speed of your card, of course, but nobody wants to wait longer than necessary for the files to get from Point A to Point B. And it’s on sale today for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days for just $15 and change — about 48% off the usual price.
The card reader doesn’t care what it’s hooked up to — all it knows is it’s connected via USB-C, so it’s going to do its thing. And every time it goes on sale like this, I pick up an extra one.
Because, just like gear bags, you can never have too many card readers at the ready.
Fujifilm just gave its most popular instant camera a serious digital upgrade. The Instax Mini Evo 2 now comes with a touchscreen, larger sensor, and a video feature that captures four seconds before each photo. It is set to arrive by the end of November for $289.95.

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.
