I have 2 Canon 7D's that I use for my professional photography. I travel extensively and wanted a camera that I could throw in a bag and take photos on my journey. The 7D's are cumbersome for travel with the lenses. I had a point and shoot Nikon that I would throw in my bag.

Awesome product, worth it , With very wide aperture u can see what's in ur behind through viewfinder And it has also hidden features that will reveal some nasty thing about the person whom u look through it.

At a glance: With relatively small sensors and often worryingly ambitious lenses, superzoom bridge cameras have usually been overlooked by discerning photographers, as compact system cameras and DSLRs have become more powerful and portable.

Huge zoom range; Excellent photo and video performance; HFR is brilliant fun

This is a copy of the HX300 for $ 320 soap dish. RX10 iii the price is 5 times more expensive, Sony respect the buyers

Before I bought this camera, I'd selected Micro Four Thirds as my standard and have a collection of Panasonic and Olympus cameras with assorted lenses - mainly the Leica ones. This camera replaces everything that I've ever bought - all in one reasonably compact package.

One of the most capable all-in-one cameras that we have ever seen, the Sony CyberShot RX10 III offers an entire mirrorless or DLSR setup in a single package. Sporting a slew of upgrades from the RX10 II; we are left with a very sensitive 20.1-Megapixel EXMOR RS CMOS imaging sensor, BIONZ X image...

Outstanding overall image quality; Dedicated Video Capture Button is always ready to record; Versatile 24-600mm optical zoom lens is ready for any situation; Great low-light performance from large f/2.4-4.0 aperture and great bokeh; Outstanding performance from the BIONZ X processor; Optical...

Battery life is a little short; lack of an included external battery charger makes it more difficult to keep spare batteries ready to go; $1,500 price tag is very steep

The Sony RX10 III is an update to Sony's high-end Bridge Super-zoom which retains its predecessor's 1 inch 20 Megapixel sensor, 4k video, super-slow motion modes, electronic viewfinder and its flip-up 3-inch screen.

The RX10 III's real attributes, however, lie with its photo skills. Because of its large sensor, the camera's incredibly long zooming capabilities produce surprisingly good still image quality.
