I'm a professional photographer, mostly editorial work for publications. Worked 20 years as a newspaper staffer. Now as full time freelancer, I mostly shoot feature stories, travel pieces and a lot of portraits. This is the camera I carry w/me always.

I wanted a quality, compact camera which would fit easily in my pocket, yet better than using my iPhone. This camera has a Zeiss lens along with 20.1mp, so it does fit the requirement. I'm still working with it as the only issue I have is indoor/flash photos.

Easy to Use; Good Battery Life; Great Resolution; Small / Compact

Limited Zoom; Poor Image Stabilization

I really like Crutchfield. I bought speakers from them via phone before internet ordering was a thing. Their staff philosophy has not change. Knowledgable and very helpful. That said, I really like the DSC-RX100 III I purchased as an open box item.

Compact, great resolution, fast from power on to picture; So far has lived up to reviews

Response via email from customer service could have been better; Particularly compared to their phone assistance

This product functions like it should, and does provide a better hand hold. However, the adhesive seemed pretty weak. I attached my grip last night, and was able to pull it right back off this morning. I was tempted to super glue it, but for as much as this cost, it should at least stay put.

Very nice camera, just make sure that you like the wide view over the focal length. I originally had the RX100 and the focal length was a plus for me but may not be to others

The best small compact camera around? We think so

Superb image and video quality; Pocket-sized; Great build and features

Pricy; Short optical zoom range

If you want a pocketable high-end compact camera that offers it all, it looks as though Sony may have finally cracked it with the Cyber-shot RX100 III. This third-generation model delivers a large 1-inch sensor size, but rewrites the earlier RX100 rulebook with a new 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 equivalent...

Built-in electronic viewfinder; truly pocketable size; super-fast 24-70mm (equivalent) lens; customisable lens ring control; great image quality; sturdy build; ND filter added

Autofocus ought to be more effective in all lighting; it's crazy expensive; shorter focal length than predecessor; no touchscreen; small button controls

It's not much of a surprise that one of the most expensive compact cameras on the market is also one of the best. The question is whether it's worth buying. The truth is, there are very few cameras that are small enough to slip into a pocket that come close to matching the RX100 III's image quality,...

As a competent snapshotter, I love this camera. The pop up viewfinder was brilliant in bright sunshine ? and was worth the weight. The pop up flash is easy to use and so I do. Still learning to use it but the pictures and videos were far ahead of my previous camera and this shows when they are...

These days nobody seems to want to bother carrying a "proper" camera. The popular impression is that a phone camera is all you need. But the picture quality from my recent purchase at John Lewis – a Sony RX100iii – is just so much better than anything that makes a call.
