I pondered over the rxr1 m3 over a while as my main a1ii was a little bulky to lug around for light walks and I am glad to took the jump. It’s my main shooter now for the typical streetscape trails

Got the Sony RX1R III last month! It’s great and super easy to carry around, but honestly, I’m struggling with the 35mm lens. I feel a bit stuck not being able to change the perspective.

I have a big collection of Sony cameras like A1ii, A9iii, A7V, but I really don't want to lug these to a family lunch or holiday. The Sony RX1Riii is just nice size, big enough not to be toy like, but small enough to be easy to bring around. I don't tilt the screen so the lack of it is not a big issue. The lack of IBIS did bother me initially, but setting the shutter speed to 1/125 negates the lack of IBIS. Usually even with IBIS, I shoot at most 1/60 or faster to minimize subject movement blur, so 1 stop more is not a big issue. As for sharpness, I find it really stunning with pop and micro contrast. Definitely way better than Sony Zeiss 35mm f1.8, maybe a bit better than Sony 35mm F1.8 (but much smaller). JPG images have ok noise control up to ISO 3,200. But the files using raw, clean up perfectly using DXO Pure Raw 5. Since its has fixed lens, the high resolution enables in camera cropping which you can see in the view finder which is nice. I did compare to the Leica Q3, but it really much heavier and you really need a grip for that which makes it even heavier. So Leica Q3 is much heavier and much more expensive. The only thing I would gain from a Leica Q3 is the IBIS and tilt screen. While reports say the Leica lens is slightly better, I believe at that level is really hard to tell. So that don't bother me. I also considered a Fuji X100VI, which has tilt screen, IBIS and optical view finder. I have that as well, but its sharp but definitely not as sharp as the Sony. The Fuji colors are slightly nicer, but its personal preference. And Fuji X100VI need to be mindful and careful when using AF as its not exactly reliable or consistent. Sony AF for slow moving / static objects is great, similar to my other Sony cameras. Though due to the aging lens, the focus can be bit noisy and slower for fast changing subjects. I used it a family lunch recently with a Sony F28 flash, and my nephew who seldom handles cameras, had no issue with holding it and no miss focused shots. Overall, a very nice camera.

As a previous RX1R ii user I was itching to buy this camera and I’m so glad I wasn’t put off by some of the negative reviews. I also own an A7CR, which some recommend buying over this. That to me is crazy as I bought this because it offers similar quality in a significantly smaller and lighter package. What I was particularly pleased to discover is that it is compatible with Sony’s superb wireless commander so I can use off camera flash. Lens is gorgeous, autofocus pretty swift, and build quality pretty decent. For me it’s a daily carry and street photography camera.

在拍攝上，始終沒有防震有些場景始終有些不便，但考慮到機身肿如此細小，也需要妥協，但我覺得加番少少防塵防水滴會令用家有些安心吧 而且還未知道日後保養維修的質量如何

發售時又沒有贈品，又沒有配件折扣，要等sony有折扣才入手，Sony原廠RX1R3配件很貴，手指柄設計是很好，相機連拍速度有點弱，沒有防震對我來說問題不大，輕便攜帶能隨手拍攝能找回攝影樂趣

在官網上訂購兩天後，再到官網查看發現價格減了$4000的折扣，虧很大了！ 但相機還是好機，很輕便，很出色！

Very compact camera but with a full frame high resolution sensor and an updated AI AF engine. I am grad to see this camera has revived.

I value this camera for the unique combination of the 61mp sensor and the Zeiss optics with a great macro. The combination is truly wonderful. Size and weight are unbeatable. I love clever touches like the rotating display information, full touch screen functionality and extended hot shoe contacts.

等待十年才出新版本，沒有失望。一個月終於到手，近日天氣稍佳才外出試機，非常滿意相機質素及鏡頭表現，現今市場上不作他想。

我一向追求極致畫質，同埋超級輕便，主要用嚟影家庭相，尤其是係兩三歲嘅小朋友。現役裝備包括A7CR+40/2.5, X100VI, GR3X, RX1RM2, 同埋呢部新買嘅RX1RM3。只有呢部新嘅RX1RM3符合到我嘅要求，最主要受惠於佢快速而準確嘅AF對焦，開住AF-C同埋 burst mode, 大部份相片都可以對焦到我小朋友的雙眼。用同一個方法，A7CR都可以影到，準成度比RX1RM3更高，但40mm得F2.5，淺景深爭少少，而且都仲係大部過部RX1RM3。 我覺得呢部相機最大嘅缺點係冇咗個上揭式反 mon，上代有而今代冇，真係講唔過去。而A7CR就用一個側揭式反mon，對於主要影相嘅我嚟講都係唔係咁順手。希望呢部機嘅下一代可以俾返個上揭式嘅反mon俾我，咁就完美了！

The RX1RMK3 is a small, fast, fully featured every day full frame carry anywhere or EDC camera. The Zeiss 35mm F2 is crisp, renders images that defy the typical clinical digital look and feel of equivalent lenses. This is not a camera you can try in the store or at a friend's house you need to take it out and shoot with it to experience how capable it is in most urban settings. Would I shoot fast moving sports with it? Likely not, but in its intended space it is unbeatable. Battery life is excellent and a significant improvement over my RX1RMK2 BX1 batteries. I much prefer the built-in EVF as opposed to the previous pop-up version. The shooting experience with this camera makes you want to take it out and use it. The 61MP sensor is a known quality and is the same one used in a number of bigger full frame cameras and it is well respected and capable. The newer Sony menu interface is totally configurable to the user preferences. The ability to set-up user colour profiles (LUTS) as well as the built-in profiles makes this camera very adaptable to any situation. I don't recommend it as a video camera but it does shoot XAVC S 4K 8 bit 4:2:2.

In buying this camera, I was worried that the same lens attached in the previous model could deal with the upgraded 61MP sensor. I was over worried after seeing the developed images. This will be my daily walk around camera going forward.

Perfect compact camera! Incredibly small extremely powerful the zeiss it’s plenty of character, the images looks like were taken through the cleanest mirror the digital edge it’s not here, love it
