Ricoh Innovations Corporation, often shortened to Ricoh, has announced its acquisition of wireless memory card company Eyefi.
According to an email sent out by Eyefi, the team behind the wireless memory cards will immediately start work at Ricoh, where it says it plans to continue “maintaining and increasing the quality, support, and service that you have come to know from [the Eyefi] team.”
Eyefi got its start as a hardware company, creating memory cards with built-in wireless networks. Able to create on-location connections between the card and a mobile device, Eyefi cards made it easier than ever to get images straight off a camera and onto a computer for quicker sharing and effortless transfers.
More recently, as noted by PDN Pulse, Eyefi put its effort into creating a cloud platform, where the uploaded images could be safely stored and duplicated until later processed or archived. Furthermore, Eyefi partnered with both GoPro and Olympus to help kickstart its online cloud integration.
There are few details about whether or not Ricoh will keep Eyefi’s hardware in development or merely utilize its cloud platform, but Eyefi has confirmed that all owners, both new and old, of Eyefi Mobi and Mobi Pro cards will continue to receive the exact same support going forward.
Considering Ricoh is behind Pentax DSLRs, as well as the recently updated Theta 360, it’ll be interesting to see what it plans to do with Eyefi’s technology. Wireless transfers from camera to computer have become more popular in recent years, and with the experience of Eyefi, it’s not hard to imagine that future DSLRs or compact cameras from Ricoh will offer these capabilities.
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.

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.
