The editors didn't like
Autofocus ought to be more effective in all lighting
It's crazy expensive
Shorter focal length than predecessor

Small button controls

The viewfinder is a tad clumsy and very small. The Mark III is pricey
A point-and-shoot isn't for pros
And £699 is lot to ask of the casual photographer
Or even the more serious snapper looking for a secondary camera
Should You Buy It

Poor autofocus at longer focal lengths

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...

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...

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...
Abstract: This third-generation model follows the same formula, but there are some big upgrades underneath its diminutive metal shell. The most surprising one is the addition of a pop-up electronic viewfinder (EVF). It's a high-quality unit, too, with a 1.4-million...

If you've got the dosh, go for it, but the reality is that you might be just as well served by the now discounted RX100 II. Whereas that camera brought a suite of significant changes that made it a pretty obvious choice over the original, you can probably...
