Autofocus ought to be more effective in all lighting
It's crazy expensive
Shorter focal length than predecessor
No touchscreen
Small button controls
Screen not touch
Sensitive

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

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 eyelevel 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

At first glance, the RX10 III looks like a simple upgrade, but after a quick look at the specifications (and particularly those of the lens), it is so much more than that. While rivals are still scarce in this segment, the new Sony can be thought of as c...

Compared to its peers, the RX10 III is the best all-around bridge camera on the market. The 1"-type stacked CMOS sensor offers the same (that is, very good) performance as its predecessor, while the new lens reaches from a wide angle of 24mm all the way t...
