Weak battery life
Gets extremely warm when video recording
High price
Expensive
Max aperture of f/4 at 100mm
No builtin ND filter
Menu system not as intuitive as could be
Purple fringing and blooming evident in some areas
The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder
The autofocus system could be more consistent
And it has poor battery life
Sluggish autofocu
Occasional autoexposre glitche
Jerky HD video at 24fp
Pricey
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
Very expensive
Omits internal neutral density filter
Lens hood blocks flash at wide angles
Very expensive. Short zoom range. Lacks hot shoe. External charger not included
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
Costs as much as a DSLR. Tighter zoom range stops short of ultimate portrait territory. A step back in battery life as compared to previous models. Needs a certain storage card to use its best video mode
Clickless
Slightly laggy control dial can make shooting experience feel disconnected
Focus peaking rather prone to indicating everything as infocus
JPEG sharpening a little clumsy and interacts oddly with heavy noise reduction
Autofocus can be hesitan
New lens loses builtin ND filter
Lots of glass to push around means slower startup and zoom times
Autofocus prone to hunting
Touchscreen would improve control
Especially AF point placement
Menu system still needs a makeover
Buttons are mushy and lac
Removal of Multiinterface shoe
Lacking ability to manually select AF points on rear screen

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.
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
This camera has been designed by photographers and engineers and not by the marketing department. The short zoom will be off-putting for non-discerning customers, but those who know about these things see a lens that has the same focal length range as the...
EVF builtin, Respected sensor, Bionz X processing engine
Screen not touchsensitive, Reduced zoom range
As usual, we want to get our hands on a full-production sample RX100 III before we pass judgement on it, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that it's going to be a good performer. Sony has kept all the good points of the RX100 II and has made some reques...
Screen not touch-sensitive, restricted zoom range, Two step EVF activation
Sony is continuing a trend set with the RX100 and RX100 II, seeing the RX100 series as the compact camera for those stepping up from a smartphone or basic compact, the RX 100 II being for those who want something a little more and better image quality. Th...
Excellent and fast 24, 600mm 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...
Huge zoom range, Excellent photo and video performance, HFR is brilliant fun
Expensive, Bulky for a bridge camera
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 could as...
High-quality lens with extremely useful zoom range, Superb sensor produces fine stills and high-quality video, Very effective image stabilisation system, Broad range of pro-oriented video specs, Wi-Fi easy to set up and works well
Expensive, Max aperture of f/4 at 100mm, No built-in ND filter, Menu system not as intuitive as could be, Purple fringing and blooming evident in some areas
The RX10 III rounds off an impressive trilogy of cameras from Sony, and it is difficult to come away from using it and feel underwhelmed. Although it covers much the same territory as the RX10 II, the increase in focal range over previous models changes i...

Superb image and video quality, Pocket-sized, Great build and features
Pricy, Short optical zoom range
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III verdict Open Gallery If you already own a great premium compact camera (such as one of the other RX100 models) then there may not be quite enough here to warrant what would be an expensive update. But if, on the other h...

The third generation of the RX series is better than ever. Sony has extended the RX100M3 to meaningful innovations such as the viewfinder. For the hot shoe had to give way, but very few photographers have probably used the expensive Sony viewfinder or a s...
