Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 Camera - Mark 3 DSCRX100M3 review
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is an overall great camera that delivers significant improvements over the RX100 II, but not everyone will think it's worth the extra cost.
Pros:
- 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, photo and video quality.
Cons:
- The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder
- the autofocus system could be more consistent
- and it has poor battery life.

The RX100 III is the most capable compact camera we've ever seen. With its built-in viewfinder and consistently fast lens, there's nothing that can provide better image quality in such a small package.
Pros:
- Large sensor undoubtedly the best in its class
- Bright maximum apertures across zoom range gives huge flexibility
- High quality
- responsive viewfinder
- Built-in ND filter helps both video and stills shooting in bright light
- Excellent level of control over video (including manual exposure
- Pleasant...
Cons:
- Clickless, slightly laggy control dial can make shooting experience feel disconnected, Focus peaking rather prone to indicating everything as in-focus, JPEG sharpening a little clumsy and interacts oddly with heavy noise reduction, Autofocus can be hesitant, especially in low light
- AF improves when...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III Review
The RX100 III is the most capable compact camera we've ever seen. With its built-in viewfinder and consistently fast lens, there's nothing that can provide better image quality in such a small package. It's not the perfect camera to take shot-to-shot control over, but its capability means it justifies its high price tag.
Pros:
- Getting excellent quality images and video, on the go.
Cons:
- Low light shooters and those who want the camera to always be ready for the next shot.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Mark III review: Sony RX100 III: A better camera but not necessarily a better buy
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is an overall great camera that delivers significant improvements over the RX100 II, but not everyone will think it's worth the extra cost. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III (aka RX100M3) is quite a different animal from its sibling, the Editors' Choice RX100M2 . With a manufacturer price of $800 (£700, AU$1,100) it costs about $150 (£110, AU$200) more, and targets enthusiasts willing to pay more for a faster lens, improved video quality, and an electronic viewfinder. And the M3 is an appealing camera for that group, albeit not without causing some aggravation along the way.
Pros:
- 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, photo and video quality.
Cons:
- The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder, the autofocus system could be more consistent, and it has poor battery life.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III review
At the top of this page I described the RX100 III as the best all-round compact for enthusiasts right now. I realize there'll be cries from those who love larger models like the Fujifilm X100s, but while the Fuji delivers better quality images, it's simply not what I would describe as a compact...
Pros:
- Bigger than average 1in sensor in compact body
- Useful 24-70mm equivalent range
- Bright f1.8-2.8 focal ratio and built-in ND filter

Sony RX100 III review: As far as point and shoots go, this is the camera to beat!
Sony RX100 had marked a beginning as far as its compact advanced point and shoot series went. For its compact size, it tends to pack in a lot of features and offers good performance.
