The Sony RX10 III improves on its predecessor, the RX10 II, with a greater lens range (from 8.8-73.3mm to 8.8-220mm), a slighter higher maximum aperture on the wide end of the range (f/2.4 from f/2.8), and even greater slow motion potential with FPS speeds up to 1000 in 1080p. For still photographers, it fires at a speedy 14 FPS and the lens can shoot subjects as close as 1.18". Compose your shot with the large LCD screen or with the viewfinder. An automatic eye-sensor recognizes when an eye is at the viewfinder and illuminates when the LCD is not in use.

Wireless connectivity allows you to transfer images to a tablet or use your smartphone as a remote when used with the free Sony PlayMemories app. You can connect an external microphone to this camera as well as use a radio transmitter or an LED on its hot shoe, making this camera useful for both novices and advanced users.

Improvements have been made to the sensor as well. The Exmor RS sensor incorporates a dedicated DRAM chip for quick image processing and boosted signal capacity for readout speeds that keep up with continuous shooting of up to 14 FPS and slow motion video recording at up to 1000 FPS. The Super-Speed Anti-Distortion electronic shutter reduces unwanted distortion caused by rolling shutter effects while filming and can support super high shutter speeds for action capture as well as shooting in bright light. For shooting video at more natural-looking slower shutter speeds in bright light, there are no built-in ND filters in this camera (you may certainly use external ND filters – the filter size on the built-in lens is 72mm, filers not included).

The Sony RX10 III is optimized for multimedia image-makers working in a broad variety of situations with internal video recording up to UHD 4K30, Full HD 1080p at up to 120 FPS, and still images up to 5472 x 3648. With the 14 FPS stills shooting speed, this camera is great for sports and wildlife photography as well as documentary videography, event shooting, and travel.
