    Technology



    20.1MP4 1-inch Exmor R Sensor

    Featuring a large 1.0” Exmor R CMOS image sensor. The back-illuminated technology doubles light sensitivity and combines with Sony’s Column A/D Conversion to reduce noise levels — a great help when photographing in dimly lit environments. Markedly reduced noise is evident even when high-sensitivity settings are used for capturing night landscapes or indoor scenes.

    ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F1.8-2.8 lens

    The DSC-RX100 III sports an all new bright F1.8-2.8 Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 24-70mm zoom. The lens is perfect for portraits and macro shots with beautiful defocused - bokeh backgrounds. A premium multi-layered T* coating also dramatically reduces ghost and flare caused by light reflection.

    Built-in SVGA OLED viewfinder w/ Zeiss T* coating

    View every scene in rich detail with the bright and retractable SVGA OLED Tru-Finder. The viewfinder faithfully displays what will appear in your recording, including the effects of your camera settings, so you can accurately monitor the results. The Zeiss T* coating enhances clarity and reduces flare and reflection in the eyepiece optics.


    Selfie-ready multi-angle 3" Xtra Fine LCD display

    Selfies have never been easier with a beautiful 3” (1,229k dots) Xtra Fine LCD Display that rotates in multiple angles. This also makes it easy to photograph over crowds or low to capture pets eye to eye by swinging up and down approximately 180 degrees. Easily scroll through menus and preview your shot thanks to WhiteMagic technology that dramatically increases visibility in bright daylight. The large display delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.

    Versatile shooting w/ XAVC S2, AVCHD and MP4 codecs1

    The DSC-RX100 III records HD movies1 in the XAVC S2 format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP4 wrapper. The highly compressed files allow extensive record times. With 50Mbps Full HD (1920x1080) 60p high quality video recording, XAVC S enables beautiful video recording with minimal compression noise even in scenes with a lot of movement. Linear PCM is adopted for audio compression. The camera also records in AVCHD, ideal for quality video for HDTV and Blu-ray Disc burning. Additionally, users can shoot the easily shareable MP4 HD video, ideal for web.

    Built-in ND filter for wider-ranging photographic expression

    Realize a wider range of photographic expression with built-in 1/8 (3 EV steps) ND filter that allows exposure adjustment in bright scenes.


    HDMI clear output for uncompressed video recordings3

    Clear, uncompressed digital movie signal output can be transferred to an external monitor/recorder (connected via the HDMI terminal) simultaneously in real time from the RX100 III3. The shooting info display can be turned off for even cleaner views of such movies on an external monitor/recorder. Frame rates include 24p, 60p and 60i.

    Comfortable control ring for manual operation

    A unique control ring around the lens works in combination with an intuitive, displayed user interface for meticulous SLR-type control over settings that satisfies even the most fastidious users. The control ring can be assigned to adjust various features (at various values) from basics like zooming and aperture to creative functions like Picture Effect. Moreover, it turns smoothly and seamlessly, allowing quiet, click-free usage while shooting movies including a new step-zoom function that enables instant selection of commonly used focal lengths.

    Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi w/ NFC

    Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi/NFC control. In addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, the DSC-RX100 III also supports NFC (near field communication) - providing “touch connection” convenience when transferring images to compatible Android smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection between DSC-RX100 III and the smartphone can be established by simply touching devices.



    Enhance your camera with PlayMemories Camera Apps11

    Personalize your camera by adding new features of your choice with PlayMemories Camera Apps. Find apps to fit your shooting style from portraits, detailed close-ups, sports, time lapse, motion shot and much more.

    With Some Caveats, This is a Great Point and Shoot Camera for Concerts
    5 Stars
    With Some Caveats, This is a Great Point and Shoot Camera for Concerts
    I went to a concert a few months back and had good seats, but only had an entry level smartphone to take pictures. As a result, the pictures were quite disappointing. I didn't want to be caught in a similar situation so after that experience, I decided to do some homework and look for a better camera. After reading many online camera reviews (articles and customer), I decided to go with the Sony RX100 III. The Sony RX 100 line is considered one of the highest quality cameras in a point and shoot form factor. As of today, there are six different RX 100 models, each with different capabilities and features. I chose the RX100 III over the other models for a few reasons. My main use of the camera is in a concert setting and the RX100 III, I believe, has the fastest lens of all the models and has the widest aperture which should be great for low light (though all models are considered great in low light also). Plus, though I don't plan on using often, having a flip-up screen for selfies can come in handy. The RX100 III has an EVF viewfinder whereas, the RX100 I and II models do not have a viewfinder. I'm really glad I decided to get a camera with the viewfinder as that comes in very handy using this instead of the LCD screen during a concert as to not disturb other audience members.I won't go into too much of the technical specs as but instead highlight features I like and dislike of the camera.Likes:- small size. I carry the camera in a case that I wear on my belt.- EVF viewfinder, great for concerts to turn off LCD display to not disturb others in audience- fast lens, 1 inch sensor, great for low-light situations- ability to shoot it JPG, RAW or RAW and JPG- three memory recall slots. This is great as I have saved all the settings I wish for concert picture taking in stored in one slot. All I need to do is recall the saved settings instead of having to fiddle with settings each time.Dislikes:- limited focal length of 24-70 mm optical zoom. Location, location, location. A good seat helps.- a lot of settings which can be a bit overwhelming- easy to accidentally bump the thumb wheel and change settings without knowing ( though the thumb wheel can be locked locked down)- buttons are not lit. So in the dark, I have to rely only by touch as to where the buttons areThere are a lot of various setting options with this camera. Some are not that intuitive. I highly recommend the book "Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC-RX100 III" as that explains a lot of settings which aren't readily apparent, like having the LCD display to automatically go blank when using the EVF viewfinder.Along with the book, I bought a couple of accessories. I got the Sony LCD screen protector along with an external grip (Haoge RX100 Skidproof Camera Bracket Holder Hand Grip for Sony Cyber-Shot) as some say the camera is slippery. I also got an extra battery and external charger. However, I found that I use the USB cable to charge more often as with the external grip, just charging the battery with the USB cable is more convenient to me that removing the grip each time.I have the camera set to save pictures in both JPG and RAW format. This saves two pictures for each shot. RAW saves all the information. If a picture is over or under exposed, with proper software, photos captured in RAW format can be adjusted after the shot.The camera also records high quality video and is known as a good camera for vlogging, though I haven't tried that at all.Overall, I really like the camera. It does take some getting used to and trial and error. I'm still learning some of the features. I included some pictures of my camera (with a external grip and screen protector). Also, a couple of concert photos (untouched, JPG format to give an idea of image quality) along with an outdoor low-light photo.If you have an up close seat, this camera can take some really terrific concert pictures, especially for a point and shoot.However, the 24-70 mm focal length does come into play. For pictures where I've been a few rows back, to simulate a zoom, I shoot using the highest megapixel, then crop the RAW photo. This is better than nothing, but there then is some noticeable noise in the picture. Acceptable but not as good as non-cropped.The best compliment I received thus far is a friend said something like "What's gotten into you? Those are the best pictures I've ever seen from you!". Good to know, better than the fail with the low end smartphone.I give the RX100 III five stars.

    I have a nikon DSLR camera but was finding it difficult to carry around during family trips. I wanted to buy a compact point and shoot camera which shoots good quality pictures. Researched and found out that sony Rx 100 range are the best especially if you are in india as panasonic tz 100 series are not avaliable in india and leica cameras though launched recently are very expensive. I wanted to buy M2 as it has back illuminated sensor for better low light photoghrahy and wifi enabled to transfer photos to phone wirelessly. At the last moment, bought M3 as i got good deal and it has 180 degrees tiliting LCD screen for selfies and a wide 24mm lens for better landscapes. Also the electronic viewfinder is great toy if you like gadgets though i m not using it much.
    Picture quality is very good, comparable to DSLR and low light photography is ok. The photos posted were taken in poor lighting conditions but the camera did well. Its small and can be kept in pocket. It takes time to getting used to sony menu. Overall happy. Go for it. If budget no problem, go for higher versions.
