New Nikon Coolpix long-zoom cameras can shoot 4K video

Nikon is adding three new long-zoom cameras to its Coolpix point-and-shoot lineup. All three models feature Nikon's "always on" Bluetooth low energy Snapbridge protocol, while two models can shoot 4K videos.

In addition to its new premium DL-series, Nikon is introducing three new long-zoom (megazoom and super-zoom) cameras to its Coolpix lineup. Besides having a long optical zoom lens, the B700 ($500), B500 ($300), and A900 ($400) have Nikon’s new SnapBridge “always on” wireless connectivity, while some models can shoot 4K video. The cameras will go on sale in the spring.

With a traditional DSLR-like super-zoom body, the B700 uses a 1/2.3-inch 20.2-megapixel back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor. It’s not a large sensor like the 1-inch variant used in the DL-series, but it’s typical of point-and-shoots. The lens has a 60x zoom with Dual Detect Vibration Reduction and 5-Axis Hybrid Vibration Reduction (optical and digital) for videos, and the camera can shoot 5 frames per second (fps) continuously. The B700 can shoot RAW photos and 4K videos at 30p. The 3-inch LCD is a vari-angle type that flips out and tilts into a variety of positions. ISO sensitivity ranges between 100-3,200. For more advanced users, there are several shooting modes and manual settings.

The B500 is similar in design to the B700, but it uses a 16-megapixel sensor and zoom is up 40x. A budget option, it’s powered by AA batteries instead of rechargeable lithium-ion, and lens-shift Vibration Reduction. It has a tilting 3-inch LCD, and movie capture is limited to Full HD 1080 at 30p. ISO ranges from 125-6,400. There’s no RAW capture. The camera will be available in black or red.

The A900 is a compact model with a 35x zoom (lens-shift VR). What it lacks in optical zoom, it makes up for with its pocket-friendly form-factor. It uses a 20-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, and can shoot 4K UHD at 30p. The 3-inch LCD is a tilting version, and ISO ranges from 80-3,200. The camera will be available in silver or black.

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.
