Ricoh has a follow-up to the WG-M1 action cam it announced in 2014. The new WG-M2 has a similar form-factor as its predecessor, although there are noticeable design changes. Ricoh has made the camera more rugged, and improved the components and capabilities.
With an emphasis on video, the WG-M2’s still image resolution drops from 14 to 8 megapixels. But the camera can now shoot video at 4K at 30 frames per second (fps), as well as Full HD 1080p at 60 fps and HD 720p at 120 fps; the previous model could only shoot up to 1080p at 30 fps. Eight-megapixel isn’t bad (that’s what the iPhone takes), but it’s clear that video is the highlight.
The lens field-of-view has increased. The ultra-wide-angle lens has a FOV of 204 degrees, compared to the WG-M1’s 160 for stills and 130 for video. There is a 1.5-inch color LCD for video playback – same as the WG-M1, but rare in most action cams – and Wi-Fi for remote operation or uploads via phone or tablet.
The WG-M2 is tougher. It can dive down to 65 feet, and is shock-resistant from 6.5 feet; freeze-proof remains the same at 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike many action cams, the WG-M2 doesn’t need a special housing.
Other features include vibration-based confirmation when it starts or stops recording (handy for underwater use); shake reduction; and new special video effects.
The camera hits stores in April. At $300, it’s competitive to 4K action cams from GoPro and Sony.
Following the special silver edition of the GR II, Ricoh is releasing the Pentax K-3 II Silver Edition DSLR. Available in the spring, only 500 cameras were made, and will be available via Ricoh’s website for $1,000. The camera, made to commemorate Ricoh’s 80th birthday, is the exact same model as the standard K-3 II.
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.
