Product details

With its image quality of 20.1 megapixels (effective), an integrated electronic viewfinder (EVF), a brighter Zeiss lens with a larger aperture, and its compact size, the RX100 III is ideal for professional results on the go.

This excellent combination of various functions makes it an ideal choice for professionals who would like to use a second camera in addition to their interchangeable lens camera.

Big technology in a small body

The compact housing of the RX100 III is made of aluminum, making it both stable and lightweight. The RX100 III is designed to capture every moment on the road. Despite its compact dimensions, it houses an image sensor with a light-sensitive area four times larger than that of conventional compact cameras.

More light and wide angle - the new lens of the RX100 III

Compared to its predecessor, the new Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens of the Sony RX100 III with F1.8-2.8 is much brighter in the upper zoom range up to 70 mm (compared to the 35 mm format). Sony has extended the lower focal length range to 24 mm, allowing for larger wide-angle shots.

Electronic viewfinder and hinged display

The new RX100 III is equipped with an electronic OLED viewfinder, a significant improvement over its predecessor, especially in bright shooting situations. The pop-up viewfinder is bright and detailed.

Now many more possibilities for videographers

The RX100 III also opens up new options for filmmakers. The improved Bionz X image processor allows for images in the XAVC-S standard. Videos are recorded with a data rate of up to 50 Mbit/s, while minimizing artifacts and image noise.

Sony RX100 III: a custom camera

The possibilities for using the RX100 III for photo and video recording are constantly expanding. The RX100 III is the first model in the RX family to allow filming in video mode via manual mode, program, aperture, or aperture priority.

The Sony Cybershot RX100 III is a really good compact camera. Not only the very good light intensity, but also the image quality and the new electronic viewfinder are pleasing. Despite its extensive features, it fits in any pocket.

In addition to very good workmanship, the small Sony can also score with its noise behaviour, with image errors only starting at ISO 1,600. In addition, even low-light shots are of high quality, and a viewfinder has been added to the predecessor. There are no major weaknesses here, and the compact housing makes the model extremely travel-friendly.

While the predecessor versions of the RX100 III were mainly known for their excellent image quality, the current model seems to have problems in this area. At least in our tested, the compact camera cannot convince us despite first-class features (Leica lens, large sensor).

  • Negativepoor documentation
  • Negativefiddly operation

The test winner is rightly in first place because, in contrast to the competition, the videos are also convincing. The Sony also offers manual settings and a great viewfinder with high resolution. Numerous features form a good overall package with top workmanship. However, the operation is very fiddly for users with large hands.
