Canon EOS 350D Review

By Ian Bell Published April 30, 2005

Quote from the review:

“We could forgive the first digital reflex camera under the conventional borderline price of 1000 USD for many things. But still, the commercial limitations of the functionality were too obvious. Good similar cameras from the competing manufacturers and alternative firmware versions seem to have changed the company’s position on the state of affairs. And here is a fast and full-featured 8Mp camera in the same “below $1000″ class. If you have been waiting for a sterling reflex camera at a reasonable price, this camera is worth a closer look. It is hardly possible to manufacture a better camera in this class (relatively inexpensive reflex cameras).”

Sigma FP2 is the world’s smallest full-frame camera built for photographers and filmmakers

The new mirrorless camera combines 24.5MP photography, 6K OpenGate recording, and expandable accessories in a compact body.

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.

I found 8 early Prime Day camera and creator gear deals I’d actually buy

Cameras, mics and webcams are already getting cheaper before Prime Day

We are nearing Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, which officially run October 6 and 7. But there is no need to wait until the sale begins to start looking. Early offers are already live, and camera gear is one category where I found enough worthwhile discounts to put together a proper creator-focused list.

I’ve deliberately gone wider than interchangeable-lens cameras here. There are pocket and action cameras, a 360 camera, an instant camera, two wireless microphone systems, and a pair of webcams covering very different budgets. Prices were checked on October 2, and as always with Amazon, they can move quickly.
