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* coatingView 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 displaySelfies 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.

The large display delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.Versatile shooting w/ XAVC S2, AVCHD and MP4 codecs1The 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.

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 operationA 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/ NFCConnectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi/NFC control.

Review: This is a great camera that takes fast pictures - This camera fits the bill for my needs and works perfectly. There are a few things about this camera that swayed me vs. the competition. I looked at many cameras before deciding which one to buy. The canon cameras which I was going to buy have a few problems that steer me from them, for example the Canon G7X does not accept aftermarket batteries and can only charge via a dock charger. I am not spending fifty dollars for a camera battery when the original runs out, I will use my old AA battery camera if I have to in that case. Many people report noise in videos from the mechanism on the canon cameras. This camera charges by USB and of course you have the option to use the dock charger of your choice if you wish, if you don't have a dock charger they are available cheaply here on desertcart. More options for charging is always better. The USB can charge with any android phone charger and mini USB cable. I tried several and they all work. Nikon is nice and everything but apparently those require a specific adapter to use so you will have to make room for that and the cable on your charging strips. I can verify that this camera takes aftermarket batteries just fine, and they are very cheap, in the tune of around five to ten dollars each. Since a single battery will likely last for at least a year or more at minimum that is a great value. A camera is useless with a bad battery or without a battery or one that does not function properly, so its pointless to buy something that won't accept aftermarket batteries especially with an item this expensive I expect the camera to last me many years. I don't mind if the battery doesn't show properly on the meter, I haven't gotten that far with the camera yet, its easy enough to change it out with a spare in a very short amount of time and keep right on shooting. This is a fast camera, that means it takes a snapshot very quickly, therefore it would be ideal for real world use and families with kids, there is very little lag time between when you hit the button and when the picture is taken. I don't think you can find a faster camera of this size. If you need to catch something quickly, this is your camera. Its easy to use, I had no problem adjusting to it. The flash seems to be made out of metal which is good, the hinges are metal which is good. You do have to flip the flash up with a switch and push it back down manually. I recommend using a light touch on this, as it does feel delicate but I don't think I will have a problem with that, again the hinges are made of metal so it should last. The flash can be angled if you hold it in the position you want to keep it in while shooting the picture, not that difficult to do if you need to do it. Some people might need this feature so I am mentioning it here. The Sony RX100 MK2 has a tilting screen but cannot tilt into the selfie position making it pretty pointless in my opinion (I spent a long time trying to figure this one out so I figured I would write it here). If you want a camera that tilts into the selfie position you must buy this one, the MK3 or one of the newer versions. The original Sony RX100 doesn't have a tilting screen at all. The screen on the MK3 does tilt down about halfway as well. The screen feels delicate but the hinges are made of metal so again, they should be fine. Just use a light touch on it and you should be fine. I haven't tried the viewfinder much yet but it does pop up when you hit the button or switch, when you put the viewfinder down the camera turns off, might be minor thing for some people. I guess my only complaint is the grip accessory, its just too expensive. Its a NEEDED accessory and at $14 its literately a 2 inch piece of rubber with some adhesive on the back. Its easily the most expensive accessory I ever bought ever for anything. But I guess if someone is buying a camera that costs $700+ then an extra $14 isn't that big of a deal.... Update: I have to update this, this camera takes video with absolutely stunning quality, that is the only way to describe it, when playing the video back, it looks like you are actually there. I have never seen a camera produce such stunning video and I highly doubt there are many cameras on the market that can produce a video like this camera can. This camera captured my summer memories perfectly. The camera is sturdy and the battery lasts a long time, it got me through an entire day at a theme park where I took many pictures and made many videos and still had a little bit of battery left at the end of the day. You can probably take 200 photos easy and film a bunch of short videos and you will still have life left. I filmed a 10 min video and it held up great. I also filmed a couple local bands and even at night with bright lights the video was absolutely stunning. It works great in low light and indoors.
Review: Easy and Compact like a Point and Shoot but Amazing Pictures - Debated whether or not to go with the MKII, MKIII, or MKIV for a while. Finally decided on the MKIII because while the extra features like the improved slowmo capabilities at up to 1000fps, super fast shutter speed a 1/32000, an improved resolution EVF, 4k video recording, and generally improved image quality from the stacked CMOS sensor are fantastic, they weren’t justified for intended use at the cost of $200 more. This camera is intended as a high quality point and shoot travel camera and in that realm it succeeds without the added cost for the MKIV. The build quality is fantastic although from my research and what I can tell, this camera is not weather sealed which would have of course been preferred. Other than that, the metal construction feels solid, the flip out screen feels sturdy enough, and the customizable ring is very smooth and functional. For the most part the buttons are easy enough to press but like others have mentioned, the video record button can either be pressed inadvertently or sometimes hard to get to when you need it. The menu is typical for Sony cameras and although I’m used to it having used other Sony cameras, I can understand that it would feel a bit clunky to others who aren’t used to it. For those new to Sony cameras, it can definitely take a while to get comfortable and familiar with but it will be in your best interest to learn it and customizing your buttons well. The image quality and video quality are outstanding. I have not used other high end point and shoot style cameras besides this but I use the A6300 with some decent lenses and I can say that you can take pictures with quality much closer to the A6300 than any other $200-$400 point and shoot. I don’t want to get into image quality too much because there are a lot of places you can go for very in depth reviews on the image quality but let me just say that it is fantastic. If you’re coming from a typical point and shoot camera you will be amazed at what this little camera is capable of. Deciding between the MKIII and the MKII was a little difficult as well. At the time I bought the MKIII, the MKII was $250 less. Part of the reason I went with the MKIII was because of the EVF and the fact that I didn’t plan on using the hotshoe on the MKII. I’d say for the most part just snapping pictures, the LCD screen is fine and easier to use but sometimes there is just too much sun or you really want to look closely and review a shot to make sure you got good focus. While I steered away from the super slowmo on the MKIV I did want the ability to do some slowmo which the MKIII seemed to have over the MKII. One thing that made it tricky was the fact that the MKIII loses some zoom range going to 24-70(35mm equivalent) from the 28-100 on the MKII. I do think having better wide angle is more important for this type of camera but it is still somewhat unfortunate for it to lose so much zoon in my opinion. It does keep the aperture down to f2.8 at 70mm compared to the f4 at the same focal length of the MKII so it does stay pretty bright at the long end which is a major plus for me. There are a few things I’d like to see a little different on this camera. First off, the price is a little high and considering the price drops after the new versions are released, I thought this might be a little cheaper. It isn’t a big deal and you really can’t go into the RX100 line thinking that you’re just getting a point and shoot. Second, I would have loved to see a touch screen on this camera. In fact, if the MKIV included a touch screen, I would have happily paid the $200 more for a well implemented touch screen. The touchscreen just makes navigation on the camera so much easier as well as using it to change your focus point. At the price point I really would have liked to see it, but you can live without it. Finally, the ergonomics are secondary to style. They continue with their very minimalist design and while it looks great, the metal clad camera is very slippery and small which makes holding comfortably sometimes a challenge. I bought the adhesive grip sold by Sony for the RX100 and it is great. It adds a nice bit of rubbery grip to the right side of the camera and it looks great too. I wish the camera either came like this already or included the nearly $15 dollar grip in the box. It wasn’t a deal breaker but it would have been a great addition considering the cost. This is not a full in depth review of the camera. If you want tech specs and a full listing of all of the features, there are sites for that because it would take me a long time to go over all of the great features and specs. This camera is loaded with great features, fantastic specs, and it produces amazing pictures and video. What I am trying to do here is tell you why I went with the MKIII considering the MKII and MKIV are both available and are both excellent cameras. I wanted some slowmo video, the better low light capabilities and general image quality, and the EVF which the MKII didn’t have but I didn’t need the super slowmo, 1/32000 shutter speed, and 4k video that the MKIV has. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and am very impressed with the photos and video that the RX100 MKIII provides. I considered giving it 4/5 stars for the reasons I stated but felt that the positives outweighed the negatives by a lot. If you are not happy with the pictures your standard point and shoot is giving you and don’t really want to take the step to mirrorless or DSLR cameras, this is what you’re looking for and I can easily recommend the RX100 MKIII. Be aware that there are currently 4 versions of the RX100 ranging in features and value. I will update my review should I find anything else great or not so great about the camera.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have a smaller optical zoom than the previous model?**
A: Important to note, that this is a 24-70mm optical lens. But, if you're feeling adventurous, and you're willing to produce somewhat softer images, it also has an electronic zoom available, which gives you 4X more. I wouldn't recommend it, since the image degrades quickly with it, but it is there. You can program the camera to use optical zoom only, 'ClearImage Zoom,' which kicks it up 2X, or the 'Digital Zoom,' which gives you that 4X boost.

**Q: How long can you record a video with a fully charged battery?**
A: This camera will easily record up to it's limit of 30 minutes for a single clip on a full battery.  This is an arbitrary limit for digital cameras to avoid being taxed extra as a video recording device.  See here:  http://www.tested.com/tech/photography/44445-why-digital-cameras-have-a-30-minute-video-recording-limit/

**Q: Would this camera take just as high quality photos in daytime as in nightclub environments (w less lighting) ??**
A: All cameras will be more limited in a dark environment, but for a small camera, this one does very well in lower light.

**Q: what in included with the camera?**
A: 1. Manual2. Camera3. One battery4. Wrist strap5. Charger cable6. USB cable7. Sony rewards card

The Sony RX100 MK2 has a tilting screen but cannot tilt into the selfie position making it pretty pointless in my opinion (I spent a long time trying to figure this one out so I figured I would write it here). If you want a camera that tilts into the selfie position you must buy this one, the MK3 or one of the newer versions. The original Sony RX100 doesn't have a tilting screen at all. The screen on the MK3 does tilt down about halfway as well. The screen feels delicate but the hinges are made of metal so again, they should be fine. Just use a light touch on it and you should be fine. I haven't tried the viewfinder much yet but it does pop up when you hit the button or switch, when you put the viewfinder down the camera turns off, might be minor thing for some people. I guess my only complaint is the grip accessory, its just too expensive. Its a NEEDED accessory and at $14 its literately a 2 inch piece of rubber with some adhesive on the back. Its easily the most expensive accessory I ever bought ever for anything. But I guess if someone is buying a camera that costs $700+ then an extra $14 isn't that big of a deal.... Update: I have to update this, this camera takes video with absolutely stunning quality, that is the only way to describe it, when playing the video back, it looks like you are actually there. I have never seen a camera produce such stunning video and I highly doubt there are many cameras on the market that can produce a video like this camera can. This camera captured my summer memories perfectly. The camera is sturdy and the battery lasts a long time, it got me through an entire day at a theme park where I took many pictures and made many videos and still had a little bit of battery left at the end of the day. You can probably take 200 photos easy and film a bunch of short videos and you will still have life left. I filmed a 10 min video and it held up great. I also filmed a couple local bands and even at night with bright lights the video was absolutely stunning. It works great in low light and indoors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy and Compact like a Point and Shoot but Amazing Pictures
*by I***F on July 6, 2016*

Debated whether or not to go with the MKII, MKIII, or MKIV for a while. Finally decided on the MKIII because while the extra features like the improved slowmo capabilities at up to 1000fps, super fast shutter speed a 1/32000, an improved resolution EVF, 4k video recording, and generally improved image quality from the stacked CMOS sensor are fantastic, they weren’t justified for intended use at the cost of $200 more. This camera is intended as a high quality point and shoot travel camera and in that realm it succeeds without the added cost for the MKIV. The build quality is fantastic although from my research and what I can tell, this camera is not weather sealed which would have of course been preferred. Other than that, the metal construction feels solid, the flip out screen feels sturdy enough, and the customizable ring is very smooth and functional. For the most part the buttons are easy enough to press but like others have mentioned, the video record button can either be pressed inadvertently or sometimes hard to get to when you need it. The menu is typical for Sony cameras and although I’m used to it having used other Sony cameras, I can understand that it would feel a bit clunky to others who aren’t used to it. For those new to Sony cameras, it can definitely take a while to get comfortable and familiar with but it will be in your best interest to learn it and customizing your buttons well. The image quality and video quality are outstanding. I have not used other high end point and shoot style cameras besides this but I use the A6300 with some decent lenses and I can say that you can take pictures with quality much closer to the A6300 than any other $200-$400 point and shoot. I don’t want to get into image quality too much because there are a lot of places you can go for very in depth reviews on the image quality but let me just say that it is fantastic. If you’re coming from a typical point and shoot camera you will be amazed at what this little camera is capable of. Deciding between the MKIII and the MKII was a little difficult as well. At the time I bought the MKIII, the MKII was $250 less. Part of the reason I went with the MKIII was because of the EVF and the fact that I didn’t plan on using the hotshoe on the MKII. I’d say for the most part just snapping pictures, the LCD screen is fine and easier to use but sometimes there is just too much sun or you really want to look closely and review a shot to make sure you got good focus. While I steered away from the super slowmo on the MKIV I did want the ability to do some slowmo which the MKIII seemed to have over the MKII. One thing that made it tricky was the fact that the MKIII loses some zoom range going to 24-70(35mm equivalent) from the 28-100 on the MKII. I do think having better wide angle is more important for this type of camera but it is still somewhat unfortunate for it to lose so much zoon in my opinion. It does keep the aperture down to f2.8 at 70mm compared to the f4 at the same focal length of the MKII so it does stay pretty bright at the long end which is a major plus for me. There are a few things I’d like to see a little different on this camera. First off, the price is a little high and considering the price drops after the new versions are released, I thought this might be a little cheaper. It isn’t a big deal and you really can’t go into the RX100 line thinking that you’re just getting a point and shoot. Second, I would have loved to see a touch screen on this camera. In fact, if the MKIV included a touch screen, I would have happily paid the $200 more for a well implemented touch screen. The touchscreen just makes navigation on the camera so much easier as well as using it to change your focus point. At the price point I really would have liked to see it, but you can live without it. Finally, the ergonomics are secondary to style. They continue with their very minimalist design and while it looks great, the metal clad camera is very slippery and small which makes holding comfortably sometimes a challenge. I bought the adhesive grip sold by Sony for the RX100 and it is great. It adds a nice bit of rubbery grip to the right side of the camera and it looks great too. I wish the camera either came like this already or included the nearly $15 dollar grip in the box. It wasn’t a deal breaker but it would have been a great addition considering the cost. This is not a full in depth review of the camera. If you want tech specs and a full listing of all of the features, there are sites for that because it would take me a long time to go over all of the great features and specs. This camera is loaded with great features, fantastic specs, and it produces amazing pictures and video. What I am trying to do here is tell you why I went with the MKIII considering the MKII and MKIV are both available and are both excellent cameras. I wanted some slowmo video, the better low light capabilities and general image quality, and the EVF which the MKII didn’t have but I didn’t need the super slowmo, 1/32000 shutter speed, and 4k video that the MKIV has. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and am very impressed with the photos and video that the RX100 MKIII provides. I considered giving it 4/5 stars for the reasons I stated but felt that the positives outweighed the negatives by a lot. If you are not happy with the pictures your standard point and shoot is giving you and don’t really want to take the step to mirrorless or DSLR cameras, this is what you’re looking for and I can easily recommend the RX100 MKIII. Be aware that there are currently 4 versions of the RX100 ranging in features and value. I will update my review should I find anything else great or not so great about the camera.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bada-boom!
*by P***E on June 21, 2014*

I'm now on my third DSC-RX 100 version: the Mk III. I also own a Canon 5D Mk III and a Leica M9, but the great truism is that your photo is only as good as the camera you happen to have with you. Hence a lot of photos today are taken using smartphones and every one of them is better than the photo you would never have taken if you didn't have a camera in hand! The RX 100 is arguably the best compact camera on the market, on balance. And the Mk III outshines its predecessors in the following ways: * The effective image quality is improved. It uses exactly the same sensor as the Mk II but it has a stop or more advantage as you zoom in and that simply means that a photo that would have been captured at, say, 400 ISO is now captured at 200 ISO. (The lower the ISO the less noise). Richard from Boston, respectfully: all three versions have the same F1.8 lens at the widest focal length. It is as you zoom that the maximum F stop decreases: from F4.9 in the prior versions at 100mm (35mm equivalent) focal length, to F2.8 in the current version but at a maximum focal length of only 70mm. * The zoom range is reduced but extended at the wide angle end: 24mm-70mm (35mm equivalent) from 28mm-100mm in the prior versions. This is a big plus for me but maybe less so for others. I used to use Panasonic/Leica LX compacts (same friggin' camera but you pay at least 2X for the Leica label and Leica's product design - the plastic casing - is more than 2x better than Panasonic's) that had a 24mm-90mm (F1.4-F2.8) lens and I really missed the 24mm widest angle when I moved to Sony. So, why did it take so long for Sony to catch up with Panasonic? Fact is, Sony's sensor is much, much bigger than Panasonic's. This translates to superior performance, but makes it much harder to make bright zoom lenses for such a compact camera. (Consider how large lenses are on a DSLR.) * The EVF is fantastic. I've been using SLRs for 50 years, literally, and the greatest advantage to a viewfinder in my opinion is that it anchors the camera to your face and you end up with a more stable camera and a lower required shutter speed which translates into a lower ISO and better image quality. This EVF is 'only' 1.44 megapixels, versus 2.44 in their higher end cameras, but both look absolutely 'real' (as if you were looking through an optical viewfinder for the most part with the larger pixel space simply 'looking' larger through the view finder.) Other advantages include a better menu structure and a dedicated flash on button - which is a big deal from my POV. Also a rear screen that can flip up completely for selfies. Any way you look at it, the Sony RX-100 is a fantastic camera in any version, but the Mk III is the most impressive. Bravo, Sony! PS: all there versions have a pivoting flash that allows one to bounce the flash off a ceiling. The results are so much better than direct flash. It really delivers vastly superior flash photos assuming you have fairly light and low ceilings. (Only really works in landscape orientation where the flash pivots up. The Mk III pivot also goes much further (beyond straight up), and the only downside of the whole line is the flash time which is on the slow side.
