Sony RX100 III review: a fantastic point-and-shoot, but it'll cost you

At $800, Sony's RX100 III is averyexpensive point-and-shoot, but it's an excellent buy if you have the cash to spare.

Excellent image and video quality ; Integrated pop-up EVF ; Dedicated camera controls ; Good battery life ; New XAVC S codec for improved 1080p video

No touchscreen ; Limited WiFi control ; Expensive

When Sony launched its first RX100 back in 2012, we were very impressed. The camera offered tremendous functionality in a pocketable package. Then, when the RX100 II came around last year, Sony added WiFi along with a full-size hot shoe (which can...

Review: Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III

Sony latest version of the RX100 takes one of the best pocket cameras in the world and makes it even better.

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

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

Sony RX100 III is a costly improvement

Sony's enthusiast compact has some great features and delivers on image quality.

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.

The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder, the autofocus system could be more consistent, and it has poor battery life.

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.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III Review

Few compact cameras have garnered as much attention as the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 and RX100 II. Sony had managed to squeeze a much bigger sensor into some cameras only a little larger than the Canon S-series enthusiast compacts. And, in common with the...
