Autofocus ought to be more effective in all lighting
It's crazy expensive
Shorter focal length than predecessor
No touchscreen
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

Pricey compared to the competition
Poor autofocus at longer focal lengths

Screen not touch-sensitive

It's really simple: If you have the money and are in the market for a great compact digital camera, go ahead and purchase the RX100 III for all the reasons detailed. As an all-around package, there's really nothing quite like it; it beats out even the s...

Sony's point-and-shoot king reigns on. As we saw with both the RX100 and RX100 II, there's an enormous amount of hype about the RX100 III. Yes, RX100s are a bit of a known quantity, but with a new lens, processor, and pop-up EVF the RX100 III is bette...
Autofocus ought to be more effective in all lighting, it's crazy expensive, shorter focal length than predecessor, no touchscreen, small button controls
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III adds key features that were absent in its predecessors and is the camera to shake up the high-end compact market one again. It's the benchmark pocketable camera to beat. We love the new built-in electronic viewfinder...
At a glance, you would be hard pressed to spot the external differences between the three RX100 cameras. The differences often appear to be modest, yet with each incarnation the actual improvements are enough to make existing users want to upgrade to the...

The Sony RX100 Mark III is a great upgrade of the firm's high-end compact camera, bringing a wide-aperture lens and a pop-up viewfinder that's both practical and downright irresistible. And with excellent picture quality to boot, the RX100 Mark III is the...

Despite the addition of the electronic viewfinder (EVF) the RX100 III is a very similar size to the previous model - it is just 2.5mm wider and 9g heavier. Sony has also kept the new camera's design and control layout almost identical to that of the RX100...
We gave the RX100 II five stars when we reviewed it and the new model looks set to be equally impressive. Sony has looked at all the feedback from the previous two models and addressed all the niggles to product a fantastic all-rounder.The brand is keepin...
