The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is an overall great camera that delivers significant improvements over the RX100 II, but not everyone will think it's worth the extra cost.

A great electronic viewfinder that doesn't increase the size of the svelte Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is one of the camera's highlights; Plus it offers excellent performance, photo and video quality.

The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder; the autofocus system could be more consistent; and it has poor battery life.

It's small, it's powerful, it's a new compact powerhouse.

Greetings from Click Away 2014, a photography conference exclusively for women! I’m soaking up a ton of inspiration, ideas and training for the coming year, not to mention checking out some cool new products.

The newest RX100, or what I call it, “the Super 100” (RX100 III) is a genuine masterpiece of a point and shoot. It does NOT get better than this in a pocket P&S camera, period. From the design, the build, the EVF, the swivel LCD to the fast lens and punchy color and pop from the files, the RX100 III...

Sony’s original Cyber-shot DSC RX100 model was notable for combining a physically large 1-inch type CMOS sensor and relatively high-speed stabilized 28-100mm f1.8-4.9 Zeiss zoom in a small and compact body not much different from rivals using the much smaller 1/1.7-inch type sensors.

The RX100 III is the most capable compact camera we've ever seen. With its built-in viewfinder and consistently fast lens, there's nothing that can provide better image quality in such a small package. It's not the perfect camera to take shot-to-shot control over, but its capability means it justifies its high price tag.

Getting excellent quality images and video, on the go.;

Low light shooters and those who want the camera to always be ready for the next shot.;

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III (aka RX100M3) is quite a different animal from its sibling, the Editors' Choice RX100M2 . With a manufacturer price of $800 (£700, AU$1,100) it costs about $150 (£110, AU$200) more, and targets enthusiasts willing to pay more for a faster lens, improved video quality, and an electronic viewfinder. And the M3 is an appealing camera for that group, albeit not without causing some aggravation along the way.
