The superb quality of the RX10 III's lens is quite a technical achievement, to say nothing of the overall feature set Sony has included as well.

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 to consumers who are in the market for this type...

Sony's RX10 III is the latest in its line of high-end premium bridge cameras. It comes less than 12 months after the RX10 II was announced, but the company has said that both of the cameras will exist at the same time, offering two different options to consumers.

The Sony RX10 III was announced in March this year, less than a year after the RX10 II which, according to Sony, the new camera doesn't replace.
