I've had an SLR with a complement of lenses. After a while, you tire of lugging a camera bag around.
I wasn't devoted enough to the hobby to use an SLR anymore.
I had a couple of Canon compacts and loved the ease of use and image quality.
Then I found the Sony RX100 M3.
The image quality and video photography is very good for a compact camera.
The Zeiss lens, big sensor and imaging processor do a great job at producing high quality results.
With the addition of Remote Control software, many camera functions can be controlled from an android sm...Read more

I have used a Nikon d7100 until I bought this little ( and it is little) Sony RX100 iii. More and more my mobile phone camera was being used because the DSLR was too big too carry around or I didnt have it with me. Phone pics are ok but not the quality I wanted. The Sony gives convenience with its size AND quality shots! Ok, maybe the nikon still has the edge on perfect pictures, but every shot has to be thought out, the Sony works great on auto!! Too easy!! And when we go out bike riding, the camera can now come too! I wish it was abit more ...Read more

I have used a few slr’s and small $200 compacts, so I wanted to go the next step a quality camera which I could slip in pocket.
Not being a big camera buff I did a lot of research and consulted a friend who was a camera buff, he had a cross section of slr’s and compacts, plus a few upmarket Sony compacts. I took his advice and went for the Sony, I chose the rx100 lll and have taken thousands of great photos in the last 3 years. All on the auto option this a great little camera and i would be buy another if this one went missing.
I did add the...Read more

I've had this camera for nearly three years now and it still works fine as a camera. Impressive low light photography, so long as people or objects are fairly still. I've took this camera with me on a 6 month overseas trip with a Nikon D5500 SLR. While the Nikon had more flexibility, as you'd imagine from a SLR, there were many occasions where the little Sony produced pictures or at least the same quality (in terms of colour and definition) as the big Nikon. Two things stopped working with the Sony but so far they don't effect the camera's func...Read more

I needed a small take anywhere camera for those times when my dslrs and associated kit where too much to carry about. After extensive research I determined that this camera would best suit my needs and I have not been disappointed. The large image sensor, picture quality, ease of use and it's small size are just a few of the many pros of this mighty little camera which will comfortably fit in a pocket. The manual could use some more in-depth explanation but for the visual learners out there, YouTube has a wealth of very helpful videos to set y...Read more

After lugging around my DSLR and plethora of lenses, its a sense of freedom to have a quality camera in my pocket. Sure i could use my Iphone but it runs flat super quick.
The RX100M3 is a fantastic little unit. The metal case makes it feel solid. It feels nice and solid in my hands without weighing too much or feeling plastic or flimsy.
The 1 inch sensor give great image quality for a compact camera, even at night pushing the ISO in the 3200 range. Manual control of shutter, aperture & ISO is a blessing and allows one to explore their creat...Read more
