Source: GalaxusThe Sony Cybershot RX100 III is a really good compact camera. Not only the very good light intensity, but also the image quality and the new electronic viewfinder are pleasing. Despite its extensive features, it fits in any pocket.
In addition to very good workmanship, the small Sony can also score with its noise behaviour, with image errors only starting at ISO 1,600. In addition, even low-light shots are of high quality, and a viewfinder has been added to the predecessor. There are no major weaknesses here, and the compact housing makes the model extremely travel-friendly.
Very good quality photos and videos, flash very good; foldable monitor, electronic viewfinder; low zoom range, high price.
With retractable viewfinder: The predecessors with identical design did not have the practical viewfinder. In addition, the display can be folded upwards by 180°. The photo quality is top, but the Sony is weaker when it comes to videos.
While the predecessor versions of the RX100 III were mainly known for their excellent image quality, the current model seems to have problems in this area. At least in our tested, the compact camera cannot convince us despite first-class features (Leica lens, large sensor).
The test winner is rightly in first place because, in contrast to the competition, the videos are also convincing. The Sony also offers manual settings and a great viewfinder with high resolution. Numerous features form a good overall package with top workmanship. However, the operation is very fiddly for users with large hands.
