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
Abstract: This third-generation model follows the same formula, but there are some big upgrades underneath its diminutive metal shell. The most surprising one is the addition of a pop-up electronic viewfinder (EVF). It's a high-quality unit, too, with a 1.4-million...

The RX100 III is the the best point-and-shoot with a zoom lens. The photos and video are beautiful. The camera's even easier to use now,
The viewfinder is a tad clumsy and very small. The Mark III is pricey: a point-and-shoot isn't for pros, and £699 is lot to ask of the casual photographer, or even the more serious snapper looking for a secondary camera, Should You Buy It
If you've got the dosh, 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 probably...
It's really simple: If you have the money and are in the market for a great compact digital camera, go ahead and purchase the RX100 III for all the reasons detailed. As an all-around package, there's really nothing quite like it; it beats out even the s...

Sony's point-and-shoot king reigns on. As we saw with both the RX100 and RX100 II, there's an enormous amount of hype about the RX100 III. Yes, RX100s are a bit of a known quantity, but with a new lens, processor, and pop-up EVF the RX100 III is bette...
Autofocus ought to be more effective in all lighting, it's crazy expensive, shorter focal length than predecessor, no touchscreen, small button controls
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III adds key features that were absent in its predecessors and is the camera to shake up the high-end compact market one again. It's the benchmark pocketable camera to beat. We love the new built-in electronic viewfinder...
At a glance, you would be hard pressed to spot the external differences between the three RX100 cameras. The differences often appear to be modest, yet with each incarnation the actual improvements are enough to make existing users want to upgrade to the...
Popup EVF, Digital noise handled very well up to 3200 ISO, Compact build, Good lens aperture, Great sharpness levels in the middle of the frame, Comprehensive video mode, Onboard WiFi and NFC
LCD is too glossy and doesn't have touchcontrols, 2470 mm focal range is quite limited, Lens could be sharper around the edges of the frame, Battery charges incamera (standalone charger is an optional extra), Grip sold separately, No allweather finish, Ba
The Sony RX100 Mark III is a great upgrade of the firm's high-end compact camera, bringing a wide-aperture lens and a pop-up viewfinder that's both practical and downright irresistible. And with excellent picture quality to boot, the RX100 Mark III is the...

Screen not touch, sensitive, Reduced zoom range
Despite the addition of the electronic viewfinder (EVF) the RX100 III is a very similar size to the previous model - it is just 2.5mm wider and 9g heavier. Sony has also kept the new camera's design and control layout almost identical to that of the RX100...
We gave the RX100 II five stars when we reviewed it and the new model looks set to be equally impressive. Sony has looked at all the feedback from the previous two models and addressed all the niggles to product a fantastic all-rounder.The brand is keepin...
