Respected sensor
Bionz X processing engine
The RX100MKIII is a considerable improvement on the already great previous models. Image quality remains the class leader with RAW output producing exceptional photo quality. High ISO settings can be used without noise being an issue.
A great electronic viewfinder that doesn't increase the size of the svelte Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is one of the camera's highlights. Plus it offers excellent performance

VERDICT
This camera has been designed by photographers and engineers and not by the marketing department. The short zoom will be offputting for nondiscerning customers
But those who know about these things see a lens that has the same focal length range
The price is high for a compact
Even one as good as this. There are compact system cameras that cost less and have the versatility of interchangeable lenses. The Australian price is much higher than US street prices
The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder
Versatile all-in-one replacement for a DSLR or mirrorless camera; Great handling and build; Excellent image quality; Spectacular zoom reach; Swift performance with generous buffer depths; Extremely capable video capture; Comprehensive remote control; Quic
Extremely expensive for a fixed-lens camera; Fairly heavy for fixed-lens camera; Somewhat soft in the corners at wide-angle or tele; Noise reduction intrudes at higher sensitivities; No built-in ND filter; Not as fast when shooting raws; Slow buffer clear
Abstract: While most of the cameras in this category fall within the relatively narrow $500-$800 range (with a few exceptions), products in this roundup vary quite a bit in terms of sensor size, number and type of control points, zoom range, video capabilities and...

When we asked Patiño to sum up his time with the A7 II, he didn't mince words, telling us “I loved this camera” and that it was “awesome in every way.” When we asked him, glancing at his shelf full of Canon bodies and lenses, whether he would consider swi...
Abstract: Third Time's a CharmWhen I reviewed the original RX100 two years ago my closing comment was "The summary judgement for me is that the new Sony RX100 is hands-down the most appealing pocket-sized digital camera yet. Capable of producing DSLR grade images...

Pop-out electronic viewfinder, Incredible speed and image quality, Screen flips 180 degrees up for selfies
Weak battery life, Gets extremely warm when video recording, High price
The Sony RX100 Mark III is an amazing point-and-shoot with great imaging performance and speed. The inclusion of a retractable electronic viewfinder only sweetens the entire package. As great as the RX100 Mark III is, it's a bit on the expensive side...
Almost always perfect in-camera white balance, Solidly built body, Small and pocketable, The perfect unassuming camera for street photography, Popup EVF is very satisfying on nerdy, cool, and technical level, BOKEH, Sharp and smooth video recording,
Photos taken beyond ISO 6400 become speckled with noise, Neck strap lovers won't appreciate the lack of lug-mounts, Don't forget to personalize your controls, Wi-Fi implementation is dated
Excellent high ISO performance. Big 1inch image sensor. Sharp, wide aperture lens. 10fps burst shooting. Customizable controls. Large, titling LCD. Popup OLED EVF. Quick focus. Raw support. WiFi with NFC.
Very expensive. Short zoom range. Lacks hot shoe. External charger not included
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III compact camera earns Editors' Choice accolades because of its image quality and excellent EVF, even despite its high price....

Lovely photos with plenty of detai, high-quality OLED viewfinde, clean low-light photo, soli, all-metal chassi, extremely compact
Sluggish autofocu, occasional autoexposre glitche, jerky HD video at 24fp, pricey
If you want high-quality photos but don't want to lug a DSLR or mirrorless camera, the well-crafted RX100 III is the camera for you. Sure, cellphone cameras are getting really good. But sorry, they still don't cut it for images more than about...
