I bought my RX100 Mark 3 last year and it's the best camera I've purchased so far. I took it on a trip to Germany, Switzerland and Denmark last year. I took some of the best photos/videos ever during that trip. It was a gigantic upgrade over my previous camera, the Panasonic DMC-TZ3. Both the photos and HD video look great. The only features that are missing and would probably be appreciated by some people are a touchscreen and the ability to record 4K video. Those missing features should not be deal breakers for most people, but it's something to consider, especially as people upgrade to 4K HDTVs over the next few years.... Read More  Hide

This is simply the best pocket camera there is right now. As a pro photographer and having used a previous generation RX100 I have to say this latest version is simply amazing. I only just received it so bear in mind this is a first impression review. PROS: - The 24/70 lens with f1.8/2.8 max aperture is outstanding (a very nice upgrade from the last two RX100 models) - Very good high iso performance for a camera this size - Quick start time - Full hd video with really good image stabilization - NFC/Wifi (actually quite useful if you want to quickly post a nice quality pic to instagram) - The new customizable FN menu is very convenient - Built-in ND filter - USB charging (one less charger to keep track of, yes!) But nobody's perfect! There are a few minor CONS, some which already existed in the previous models and some which hopefully can be fixed via a BIOS update (one can always hope!) - Closing the view finder shuts down the camera, which doesn't make sense. Either disable this or make it an option in settings. - Picture effects cannot be disabled. Some are actually useful (high contrast mono for example) while others are completely useless. But since you can't select which picture effects are enabled you have to scroll through all the options every time. (previous RX100 also had this annoying problem) - The screen is not touch-screen (I mean at this point almost everything is touch screen, this just seems like a strange oversight in such an amazing camera.) - I wish the NFC/Wifi connect was even faster (it’s not slow, but still…) - It seems saving a Picture effects image takes longer than in the previous generation RX100 (I’ll have to double check) And a suggestion for the next generation: - Camera size: while it’s amazing sony was able to fit such a good lens in such a small package, each version of this camera has increased very slightly in size and weight. I hope the next version could be downsized a bit (slimmer would be nice to more easily be pocketable.) Or maybe offer a more minimal version (no flip screen and no viewfinder) with a slimmer profile?... Read More  Hide

only had it a few days , real happy with size and belt ,and picture quality.

Just bought and like product. Manual very poor to help neophyte read clearly to have sufficient information. Sony went cheap on providing a readable manual
