Sony A7-series owners have two new E-mount lens options for their full-frame mirrorless cameras: a 70-300mm telephoto zoom and a 50mm prime.
The FE 70-300mm F4.5-F5.6 G OSS is Sony’s first E-mount lens to hit 300mm. It’s constructed using four aspherical glass elements and two extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, and the glass is coated (Sony Nano AR) to reduce image anomalies. It’s also sealed to resist dust and moisture. The lens has built-in optical image stabilization, and a linear actuator for “fact, smooth, and quiet autofocus.” For macro photography, the lens has a minimum focusing distance of 3 feet and maximum magnification of 0.31x. The 70-300mm lists for $1,200. Check out samples here.
The FE 50mm F1.8 is an affordable, small, and fast prime lens for those who love bokeh. Lightweight (7 ounces), Sony says the lens “delivers an outstanding blend of performance, compactness, and value, making it a perfect choice for hobbyist photographers and videographers looking to experience the benefits of a wide aperture prime lens at an attainable cost.” This “nifty-fifty” has “a new optical design with an aspherical element that effectively compensates for all forms of aberration.” It will sell for $250. See samples here.
Both lenses go on sale in May. The two bumps the number of full-frame E-mount lenses to 20 – a significant increase since the A7 launched, not including third-party options. If you were reluctant to jump into the A7-series bandwagon because of lens options, that shouldn’t be an issue anymore.
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.
