Review: The best things in life are rarely cheap. - I've never been a fan of the big and bulky DLSR, and as a result have a Sony A6000 with a selection of lenses which covers my "proper" photography needs. As small as the A6000 is however, it's not pocketable, even with the Pancake lens. I craved for something that could deliver similar quality to a DSLR/A6000 but something that is truly pocketable. The RX100 III meets to requirement perfectly. I have been watching the price, and was all over it when it reached the £550 mark. This may seem alot of money for a point and shoot, but this isn't a point and shoot in performance terms, it's a grown up camera (with a fixed lense, admittedly) in a point and shoot body. The picture quality from the camera is simply stunning. You won't find anything that currently even comes remotely close to it, not in a compact form. Build quality is also very impressive, but then it should be at this price. Feature-wise, it's all here, Wifi, NFC, Built in ND filter, electronic lens cap, all the modes you can possibly ever want, including 2 memories. If you have an A6000/A5100/A7x then the menu system will be instantly familiar to you, all very intuitive. The battery life is very good, the battery can charge "in-camera", so no lugging around anything other than a MicroUSB lead and somewhere to plug it in (wallwart, USB cigarette socket charger etc). One of the really nice features, is the XAVCS video mode, this is very high bitrate, high quality video mode, that is also capable of high framerates. The RX100M3 supports 100FPS (PAL) and 120FPS (NTSC), in other words 4x the regular framerate, the reason you would want to do this, is to slow the video down for "slo-mo" arty video. It's really important to get the right SD card if you plan on using this feature. It NEEDS to be 64GB or greater, and class 10. Even then, I hear it's a little hit and miss what works and what doesn't. I can say for sure that Transcend 64GB Ultimate SDXC works, so if you are in any doubt, I would recommend this one. Something else of note, I, like many have never been a fan of Sony software (it's what usually lets down their products), Thankfully you can totally ignore their PlayMemories desktop software, the camera is perfectly usable without it. Better still, I think Sony are recognising this as they have any arrangement with Capture One to produce a free Sony specific version of their rather expensive (and Lightroom beating) workflow software. For Sony owners, this is a free download of the very well featured standard version, with an upgrade to the fully featured Pro version for 20Euros (usually is is over 300 Euros for the version that supports all camera models). This is definitely worth checking out. Many comparisons with Lightroom show that CaptureOne has a far better RAW processor. As mentioned, the camera has Wifi, and transferring the displayed image t your phone, is as simple as tapping the NFC logo with the NFC point on your phone (if you have an Android NFC phone, if you don't, or have an iPhone) then you have setup wifi pairing, but it's more time consuming), if you tap your phone/tablet during live shooting (rather than playback), then it launches and connects the SmartRemote app on the camera, and PlayMemories on your device. You can control zoom, touch to focus, aperture, shutter, ISO and exposure comp. It worked flawlessly on my Google Nexus 5 (Android 5.1) and my Sony Xperia Tablet Z3 (Android 5.02) I was also very impressed with the on-board, automatic ND filter, really opening up the capabilities of some great creative long exposure pictures. I didn't notice any IQ impact using this feature, so very pleased. This is one of the very few products I have ever reviewed where I have struggled to find ANYTHING negative to say about it. if I had to pick a negative, it would be lack of printed manuals (but then that's environmentally good, so even that's not really a negative), and I guess the price, but it's down from the dizzy heights of £700 to the more manageable £550 now. This really is a superbly engineered product, that you can take anywhere and it will deliver time and time again. If you are wondering if a point and shoot could ever be worth five hundred quid, take a look at the selection of RX100 pictures on FLICKR https://www.flickr.com/cameras/sony/dsc-rx100m3 Yes, this camera isn't cheap, but then the best things in life aren't cheap.
Review: Possibly my best ever purchase.... - In the 15 or so years that I have been purchasing over the internet I have never felt obliged to write a review of anything. However, this camera has changed that. It may well be the best single item I have ever bought and I feel compelled to write down how good it is. Having previously owned an SLR I decided it was time to update. I decided to go for a small top of the range camera on the grounds that I found I was not using the SLR enough because it was too much hassle carrying it around while the camera on my smartphone is just not good enough to rely on. I toyed with the similar Canon small camera that came out in the early summer (having previously owned Canon SLRs). However, I heard about the Sony mark III version of the RX 100 was due to be released so decided to wait. The wait was worth it - the picture quality is spectacular - I show the pictures on a 42 inch Sony TV and they look amazing. Movies work well also. It is exceptionally easy to use, with good intuitive settings. Plus it can fit very easily in a pocket or in a bag. Yes, there are a few minor niggles that others have referred to. The fact that the camera switches off when the viewfinders is put away is a little annoying and I have not really got the wifi to work properly (I stick to old wire connectivity which is fine for my purposes). Overall, it is a wonderful camera. The combination of size, quality of picture and ease of use makes it the ideal piece of equipment to capture the moment in a way that no other camera I have ever owned does.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the quality of photos on this compare to a sony nex-5? is it worth me changing as i find swopping lenses a pain sometimes.**
A: I am fortunate to be in the position to compare directly, as I own both cameras. All I can say is, having bought the 100M4, I no longer use the NEX-5. Personally I find the 100M4 to be better in pretty much every way, with any compromise needed more than being offset by a range of huge benefits, not the least of which are its size and weight. Ultimately zoom range is limited, but for the majority of occasions when I would be using a compact (as opposed to a DSLR) this isn't an issue.

**Q: Which sd cards allow me to use all of the features of the rx100 iv? Dpreview says that only certain cards will allow advanced features.**
A: You will need this one: transcend 64gb ultimate sdxc UHS class 3.

**Q: Mine: the finder in auto mode (auto passes from live view to finder) is not in focus but in manual mode (just finder working) is in focus. Normal?**
A: If I understand you correctly then you need to pull the eyepiece out (not just up) and also adjust the focus of the eyepiece. This is all explained in the manual.

**Q: Is video sound recorded in mono or stereo?**
A: The moving recording format is AVCHD Dolby Digital (AC-3) 2ch ( Dolby Digital Stereo Creator ).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A huge upgrade from my Mark I and a remarkable pocket camera in its own right
*by A***O on 2 June 2015*

'TEN MONTHS ON' UPDATE: If anything I'm more enthusiastic about this camera now I've used it for nearly a year. I've become very comfortable using it and only remain annoyed by the histogram disappearing when you change exposure compensation. Everything else is great. What always strikes me is that no matter what I photograph, in no matter what conditions, this camera just nails it. I took a series of photos in a dark, underground building development recently, all at f/1.8 and ISO 1600 and the results were incredibly sharp and noise free. And a day at a sunny seaside resort was equally up this camera's street, the auto ND filter kicking in when the light was too bright, and colours looking superbly saturated. Focus and startup is so quick, and the viewfinder and tilt screen just essential... I'm taking so many more photos now I have this because it's just so much fun. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I had a Mark I Sony RX100 and grew to love and rely on its combination of size and quality. Now I've upgraded to the Mark III. This is pretty rare for me because I usually flit about and try different brands since I have no 'brand loyalty'. So the new camera has to stand on its own merits (which it does) and be significantly more useful than the original (which it is). This is a fantastic camera. Three obvious new things stand out. The new lens, the hinged LCD, and in particular the pop-up viewfinder. Look deeper and you find a heck of a lot of other changes too (wi-fi, zebra striping and a handy ND filter, with auto mode, among the highlights), many of them very useful, but it's the three main physical changes that made me upgrade. Of these the lens is a mixed bag. I appreciate the extra 4mm of wide angle, which I think gives you more than the loss of 30mm at the other end takes away. So now it's equivalent to a 'classic' 24–70 like the pros use, but they usually have a 70–200 in their bag too... On the whole I'm happy about the change because I shoot more wide angle than anything, but think carefully about that zoom range. The sweetener is that the new aperture range of f/1.8 to 2.8 means at least it's a pretty bright lens no matter what the focal length, although it doesn't mean extra 'depth of field' possibilities like you might think, because of the change in focal lengths. Still, you can get quite pleasing subject isolation for portraits at 70mm and f/2.8. And the new lens is sharp at 70mm. That's unusual: most lenses are a bit soft at the end of the zoom range. This one is very sharp 'wide open' at 24mm too, but only in the centre. Edges are a little soft at 24mm, even if you close down the aperture, but things are generally very sharp in the corners at just slightly more than 24mm, especially if you up the aperture a bit to f/4 (f/5.6 guarantees sharp corners except at 24mm). Overall, the new lens seems a bit sharper than the old one, which itself was no slouch. After much experimentation, I seem to get the nicest results by using f/4 in Aperture Priority mode for general shots. The hinged LCD is a wonderful thing, and if you don't think it's something you'll use much, you've probably never used one. I've had it on cameras in the past and the lack of it in the original RX100 was a constant bugbear for me. It's so much more of a pleasure to use the Mark III because of it. The screen still attracts ugly fingermarks that are hard to wipe off. And it's a shame (quite a big shame) it's not a touch screen, especially when there's no instant way to change the focus point.And it's still relatively hard to see in bright light. But that's where the Mark III's killer feature comes in – the pop-up electronic viewfinder. If there's one thing that made me upgrade, it's this. The good news is that it's bright, sharp and fluid, and totally usable to frame shots and make changes to settings in the menus. There's a nice little diopter adjuster (with a wide range) so you'll be fine no matter what your eyesight is like. I did notice a tiny bit of judder when panning in some directions though, and in bright light you have to cup your fingers around the top to keep stray sunshine out – even so, the green confirmation on the level indicator is near impossible to see through the EVF in bright light. It's also a bit fiddly to close because you have to push it in, then down, but this soon becomes second nature. More annoying is how it switches the camera on when you pop it up, and especially how it always switches the camera OFF when you push it down. That's an infuriating decision that should be an option, because sometimes you want it to work this way and sometimes you don't. But none of this matters really because having even a slightly flawed viewfinder is way, way better than not having one at all. I use it a lot. I've been trying the wi-fi functions and they seem to work fine. You can buy (yes, 'buy') apps for the camera to add new functions like timelapse and 'star trails', but the built in tethering app lets you control the camera from your phone or tablet. It works fine but only has basic controls for zoom and exposure compensation. You can send photos pretty quickly to a mobile device or connected TV, but not video. There's a new sensor too, and while it's not obviously 'that' much better than the old one, it's obviously very good, producing very clean, incredibly detailed images with low noise. Dynamic range is good too – this is where the larger sensor really comes into its own. If you shoot raw, you can get back a surprising amount from blown-out highlights (I processed some old raw images in Lightroom from my Canon 400D SLR and was surprised to find them not only noisier but with rather less leeway for recover highlights and shadows than the RX100). I've found raw images to be very 'malleable' in Lightroom. I've set auto ISO to use up to ISO1600 (you can set a minimum too) and it really is very usable at that sensitivity, so much so that without really closely examining photos, you don't really notice an ISO1600 shot when you come across one. Impressive. What else have I noticed compared with the original RX100? Focusing seems a tad faster, which means for a compact it's really fast and responsive. Only my Olympus OM-D is faster. Sony have simplified the menus a bit, and especially the Fn menu, which is nicer to use. They've got rid of the pointless '?' button and replaced it with a much more useful customisable 'C' button that I've assigned to 'AEL toggle'. Very nice. Like before, you can change the function of just about every button if you want. And you can now 'lock' the rear control wheel so you don't change settings with it by accident. Video, a strong point before, is now even better, though you'll need at least a 64GB SDXC card (that's right, even a fast 32GB won't work) to use the new high quality setting. The new camera feels quite a bit heavier and somewhat chunkier than before, but it's still just as portable and pocket-able really. The relocated flash is still 'bounce-able' if you tilt it with your finger, but it seems even more fragile and on the verge of breaking when you push it back in place. The LCD hinges feel rather fragile too – the price you pay for thinness. A couple of things that haven't changed (and should have) are the very slow zoom-in in playback mode that takes a full second and zooms all the way in whether you want it to or not. Also *infuriating* is that the histogram disappears when you change exposure compensation, and bafflingly, you still can't use the self timer with bracketing – just when you'd want to use it... The camera still makes a hash of yellows, which is a shame when colour is generally very natural. And it's still a complex little beast, with a gazillion functions and options that you may never get your head around. But make no mistake – this is a major upgrade if you have a Mark I (the more I use it the more I think this). Less so if you have a Mark II. And if you're not upgrading, it has to be the best really compact camera with a built in electronic viewfinder AND a tilting LCD that you can buy right now. Except there's now the Mark IV, but that's so much more expensive for now that it's a whole different proposition.
