Ricoh turns 80 this year, and to mark the occasion the company is introducing a limited silver edition of its GR II camera. Only 3,200 of the compact cameras will be made, with each accompanied by a custom camera case.
As Ricoh describes it, the “camera body has a high-grade, silver-color leather-tone finish, featuring an elegant, grained texture.” Other unique attributes include a silver shutter button and ring cap; diamond-cut engravings; custom power-off screen; and a genuine leather case. Otherwise, it’s a regular GR II, but the camera has a following, so its fans and anyone else looking for a high-end compact may be interested.
The GR II is the upgrade to the original GR, a compact with a large 16.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and a fixed 18.3mm (28mm in 35mm-equivalent format), f/2.8 wide-angle lens. It’s a good alternative for those who want a DSLR-quality camera, minus the bulk. The GR II is essentially a minor refresh of the original GR, adding Wi-Fi/NFC wireless connectivity, movie autofocus, increased shutter speed (10 RAW frames per second, versus the 4 fps of its predecessor), new creative effects, and a range of other updates. But, as a camera, the two share the main components.
The camera will sell for $700 — the standard GR II can be found for as low as $559 at B&H Photo — making it an affordable high-end camera.
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.
