Sony RX10 III

The RX10 III is the third iteration of Sony's unusual premium bridge camera. It was announced not too long after the Sony RX10 II, but rather than being a replacement, it's said that both models will exist at the same time, giving a couple of choices...

Sony Cyber-shot RX10 III review

The RX10 III is a hugely capable camera in almost every respect. It's expensive, but it's virtually in a league of its own

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...

Sony RX10 III review: A camera for all seasons

As its name suggests, the RX10 III is the third iteration of Sony's RX10 bridge camera, building on the appeal of the RX10 II (which Sony continues to market and sell) by boosting the optical zoom's reach. The RX10 II was by no means a disappointing...

Brilliantly versatile, ots of zoom range, fun HFR shooting mode, quick autofocus, decent low-light performance

No touchscreen, large and bulky, restrictive price tag

The RX10 II was by no means a disappointing camera, but the RX10 III takes its only real flaw – its lack of zoom reach – and tosses it out the window. The result is a bridge camera that equals and in many ways beats many DSLRs when it comes to image...

Sony Cyber-shot RX10 Mark III Review

We review the third version of the Sony Cyber-shot RX10, the Mark III, with a new telephoto zoom lens.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 Mark III offers a unique 25x optical zoom Zeiss lens with a bright f/2.4 aperture at the wide-angle end of the lens, and a bright f/4.0 at the telephoto end of the lens. The use of a 1inch, high-speed 20 megapixel BSI CMOS...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III marries a top-notch 25x zoom lens to a large image sensor and delivers excellent images, 4K video, and fast autofocus. But it carries a premium price tag.

1-inch image sensor. 25x wide-aperture zoom lens. Quick autofocus. 14fps burst shooting. Raw image capture. Dust and splash resistant body. EVF and tilting rear LCD. Monochrome information LCD. Wi-Fi with NFC. 4K video capture. High-def slow motion.

Very expensive. Omits internal neutral density filter. Lens hood blocks flash at wide angles.

Conclusions The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III doesn't have the longest zoom lens of any camera that we've tested, but it delivers the best image quality, focus speed, and video capabilities of any camera that covers its zoom range. You can opt for...
