Sony's latest full-frame fixed-lens compact — rumoured successor to the RX1R II with updated sensor and features.
The Sony RX1R III is the latest in Sony's ultra-premium full-frame fixed-lens compact line. It pairs a full-frame sensor with a fixed Zeiss Sonnar 35mm f/2 lens, continuing the RX1 tradition of uncompromising image quality in a pocketable form factor.
Image quality is exceptional — the full-frame sensor in a compact body delivers results matching interchangeable-lens cameras. The Zeiss Sonnar 35mm f/2 lens is optically superb. Updated AF system with improved eye-detect and subject tracking over the RX1R II.
Compact body with premium metal construction. Pop-up EVF. Touchscreen LCD. USB-C connectivity. WiFi and Bluetooth. RAW shooting with full manual controls. Fixed 35mm f/2 lens — no zoom, no interchangeable lenses. The ultimate compact for image quality purists.
Very limited used availability as a recent release. Commands luxury prices. The Leica Q3 is the main competitor with 28mm f/1.7 and higher resolution. For photographers who specifically want a 35mm full-frame compact with Zeiss optics and Sony sensor technology.
