Review: Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III
The big question is whether the RX100 III's extra features are worth a few hundred more dollars than its predecessors, which are now its main competitors. It really depends on your shooting style and your video needs.
Pros:
- Pound for pound, the best pocket camera available now
- Outstanding photo and video quality for its size
- The ultimate blend of features for any level of photographer
- The only pocket camera with an electronic eye-level viewfinder
Cons:
- 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

- High ISO noise levels much better than most pocket camera rivals
- Wi-Fi wireless networking, Only very slightly...
Cons:
- Feels a little unbalanced without an accessory grip
- Not as much telephoto reach as its siblings
- Noise processing is heavier-handed than in earlier models
- Quite pricey for a fixed-lens camera, Center of gravity is further left, so doesn't feel as comfortable without a grip, Hand grip is an...

RX100 MKIII = the best
This really is a superb camera. I owned the Mark 1 and Mark 2, and the 3 is miles better. The much faster lens and superb OLED viewfinder just rock.

Sony RX100 III review
It's not much of a surprise that one of the most expensive compact cameras on the market is also one of the best. The question is whether it's worth buying.
