Fast shooting

What we didn't
Complex for first timers
No hot shoe
No touchscreen
Expensive
Killer feature
Exceptional image and video quality fo
Powerful 1-inch CMOS Sensor
Good image quality in almost all settings
The presence of an EVF
The editors didn't like
The viewfinder is a tad clumsy and very small. The Mark III is pricey
A point-and-shoot isn't for pros
And $800 is lot to ask of the casual photographer
Or even the more serious photog looking for a secondary camera
Addition of integrated EVF; Increased maximum aperture; Image Quality
Removal of Multiinterface shoe; Lacking ability to manually select AF points on rear screen
Although it could be argued that the improvements found on the RX100 III are incremental rather than revolutionary, both current RX100 series owners and those looking for an impressive enthusiast compact will certainly welcome them.The larger maximum aper...
The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III is the best compact camera that we've ever reviewed, period. We were impressed by last year's Mark 2 model, but this third iteration takes several big steps forwards, most notably thanks to the inclusion of a high-qu...

Abstract: Sony has launched a new model in its RX range of high-end compacts. Boasting a new faster lens, built-in pop-up viewfinder and large 1”-type sensor, with a 20.1Mp resolution, is the new Sony RX100 III the ultimate point and shoot camera?Sony's 3rd generat...
Abstract: And the RX100 II also adds a built-in, 3EV neutral density filter, making it more likely you'll be able to take advantage of the wide aperture to blur backgrounds or avoid diffraction, even in bright light. The new lens will also focus much closer at tele...
Abstract: In the face of plummeting compact camera sales caused by the boom in smartphones, many of which stream off Sony's own production lines, Sony launched the RX100 premium compact camera in the summer of 2012. Unusually for a compact, that original RX100 ...

Abstract: The RX100 III shares the same back-illuminated 1in type / 20.1 Megapixel sensor as the RX100 II, although couples it with the latest BIONZ X processor. The 1in type sensor may be smaller than Micro Four Thirds or APS-C sensors, but crucially sports around...

Although it looks expensive and the optical quality isn't perhaps quite what it could be, particularly with regard to sharpness and chromatic aberration, given the small size and inherent portability, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II a very satisfying and...
Excellent and fast 24600mm lens, Superb stills and video quality, High quality EVF and tilting LCD screen, Excellent high ISO performance
Pricey compared to the competition, Poor autofocus at longer focal lengths, Relatively large and heavy
The RX10 III's 24-600mm Zeiss lens, coupled with Sony's excellent 1-inch sensor, deliver class-leading image quality. Its 4K and HD video functionality is also superb. It's a large, relatively heavy and pricey camera though, and is let down by its autofoc...
There's really no point drawing this conclusion out: the RX10 II was a fantastic camera, and the III edition does nothing but improve upon it. This latest version is one of the best all-rounders I've ever seen, capable of handling everything you co...

If you've got the scratch, go for it, but the reality is that you might be just as well served by the now discounted RX100 II. Whereas that camera brought a suite of significant changes that made it a pretty obvious choice over the original, you can proba...
