The editors didn't like
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
Reduced zoom range
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
Pricey compared to the competition
Poor autofocus at longer focal lengths
Relatively large and heavy
Screen not touch-sensitive
Restricted zoom range
Two step EVF activation
LCD is too glossy and doesn't have touchcontrols
2470 mm focal range is quite limited
Lens could be sharper around the edges of the frame

Pricy
Short optical zoom range
Expensive
Max aperture of f/4 at 100mm

Menu system not as intuitive as could be
Purple fringing and blooming evident in some areas

When we asked Patiño to sum up his time with the A7 II, he didn't mince words, telling us “I loved this camera” and that it was “awesome in every way.” When we asked him, glancing at his shelf full of Canon bodies and lenses, whether he would consider swi...
Abstract: Third Time's a CharmWhen I reviewed the original RX100 two years ago my closing comment was "The summary judgement for me is that the new Sony RX100 is hands-down the most appealing pocket-sized digital camera yet. Capable of producing DSLR grade images...

Pop-out electronic viewfinder, Incredible speed and image quality, Screen flips 180 degrees up for selfies
Weak battery life, Gets extremely warm when video recording, High price
The Sony RX100 Mark III is an amazing point-and-shoot with great imaging performance and speed. The inclusion of a retractable electronic viewfinder only sweetens the entire package. As great as the RX100 Mark III is, it's a bit on the expensive side...
Almost always perfect in-camera white balance, Solidly built body, Small and pocketable, The perfect unassuming camera for street photography, Popup EVF is very satisfying on nerdy, cool, and technical level, BOKEH, Sharp and smooth video recording,
Photos taken beyond ISO 6400 become speckled with noise, Neck strap lovers won't appreciate the lack of lug-mounts, Don't forget to personalize your controls, Wi-Fi implementation is dated
Excellent high ISO performance. Big 1inch image sensor. Sharp, wide aperture lens. 10fps burst shooting. Customizable controls. Large, titling LCD. Popup OLED EVF. Quick focus. Raw support. WiFi with NFC.
Very expensive. Short zoom range. Lacks hot shoe. External charger not included
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III compact camera earns Editors' Choice accolades because of its image quality and excellent EVF, even despite its high price....

Lovely photos with plenty of detai, high-quality OLED viewfinde, clean low-light photo, soli, all-metal chassi, extremely compact
Sluggish autofocu, occasional autoexposre glitche, jerky HD video at 24fp, pricey
If you want high-quality photos but don't want to lug a DSLR or mirrorless camera, the well-crafted RX100 III is the camera for you. Sure, cellphone cameras are getting really good. But sorry, they still don't cut it for images more than about...
