- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Since their initial release, the Sony RX100 series have been the best option for photographers looking for a truly pocket sized camera with top notch image quality. The new Mark III adds several huge improvements including a pop-up viewfinder, faster, wider lens and hugely improved video specs. Is this the best RX100 yet?

For all the users of the M3 that are annoyed that the camera shuts down when you hide the viewfinder. Just before you press down the viewfinder, press the power on/off button and it won't shutdown!
i'm more fascinated on how well and confidently you recorded this in such a crowded public place
Haha his face at 5:24 when he sees the guy licking the camera! The face of anger!
Thanks for the great review! I'm really excited to get this camera and upgrade the video quality of my daily vlogs.
Thanks Guys! I always looking for the small camera can take for any family trip and not worry about big bag of equipment, and you can really enjoy the family "time"
Great video.
Not just a great review, but good entertainment as well.
Chris & Jordan ROCK!
Love your channel always some honest and great reviews. I'm looking to get a DSLR but my main used on of it will be video recording and with technology getting better and better every day it's hard to pick one, not to mention the 4K resolution.
You know you want a GH4
orange42 or an A7s, frankly.
Marc Morris
Heaps of options if you can raise the price sure thing.
Well anyone shooting 4k seriously with a GH4 or an A7s ain't just buying a camera. They'll need the Kodak dock for the GH4 and the Shogun for either of the cameras... no real, viable production option below, ironically, $4k ;)
Marc Morris
Well that's a meaningless put down, and quite unnecessary. If you don't want to use the GH4 professionally as is then you don't have to of course. All the best with your future endeavours!
I've been using the RX100 II since it came out and I love it. While I would love to have a slightly faster lens, an EVF and a better video codec, I'm perfectly happy with my current camera. In fact, I think Sony is a bit cheeky in releasing this camera so soon after the previous model. They should have skipped the Version 2 and gone straight to this model. THAT BEING SAID . . . I'm happy to see the state of the art advanced, even if step-by-step.
Thinking about getting this for my Machu Picchu trip next year. DSLR is not really an option b/c we are hiking in.
The pop-up viewfinder looks like a killer feature.
Yep, I'm pretty much sold on this. It's definitely time to upgrade. Thanks for the video, TCS!
Why would anyone want to lick viewfinder on the camera?! That was weird...Camera is great btw
yup, that weird stranger who licked it even wanted to take the camera away
Bummer, it's doesn't have a mic input.
Damn, you're everywhere Dave. XD
Add an Atomos Ninja Star Dave. Get broadcast video and audio in, and monitoring.
Adam Loretz That is a great idea, I didn't know the Star had a mic input.
Audio in, but no headphones on the Ninja star. You do get headphone jack on the Ninja 2 tho. Both options are what I'd use for this RX100 m3 or the A6000. Ideally, of course I'd love an RX100 with the A6000's APSC sensor...if only those two cams could just get a room! ; )
I wish it had a mic input. Does it have a remote shutter port?
Such high enthusiasm is not seen often! Sony RX100 III - great camera, than. For what it's meant.
Nice video guys! As usual!
Mine is on order... but I have to say that leaving an external audio input out was a major blunder... but it simply means using my Zoom H6 for audio.
Really solid review, 'boys!'
the price drop when a stranger licking your pricey cam haha...
Chris dident look impressed , when they guy licked the view finder
he is quite annoying, the guy who licked the viewfinder. he even tried to take it away
who would be?
damn...
what a point of licking the EVF?!
Love my Rx100. Top Camera for traveling.
Great Video! Thanks a lot. I made the request yesterday and got the video today.
Brillant!
I wish my Fuji X20 had a 1 inch sensor. I almost thought about selling it for the RX100 MKIII...but I think I'm just going to buy a X100s instead..i'll lose the zoom range..but I love the primes on my DSLR..so X100s would be perfect for the type of photography I like to do. But I really hope other camera manufacturers follows Sony's footstep..they have really been doing a great job lately.
God damned Levi, do as you're told!
Fantastic videos. You are truly so well informed and your opinions through your experience is very helpful. Thank you so much.
Got mine yesterday and I already love it!!
5:34 basically dude's sold 😂
Great upgrade, however wish it still went out to 120mm, although it would be a bit larger I'm sure. Also pricing it a hundred bucks less would make this even better, and Sony would sell a lot more - which would to make up for it I bet.
This sealed the deal. Confirmed what I was hoping for. Thx.
The big question is it better than the lumix gm1 in your opinion? I guess this is better than the gm1 for the compact size but the gm1 & *new panasonic leica 15mm will crush it in IQ.
First time ever I see you guys NOT buried in the ice! Despite the day is a kind of gray overcast (no sunshine), it looks a bit less depressing...Well, Canada is almost the North Pole anyways ha ha ha ha...and it is the best it can get in the summer.
Great video. Love the streeter and the out-takes. Taste test? That's new. Sound punks out at 7:19. Thanks for a good review. Might wait for the Mark IV and a hot-shoe!
You can buy Mark II with the Mi hot-shoe
could you do a full video comparaison between all video modes ??
it would really help thanks
Thanks, nice informative video and great to see some examples of what the camera is capable of. I'll be buying.
they forgot to mention one new feature that i think is very important to some ppl including myself, it's the the wider range of exposure bracketing. It was limited to +/- 2/3 of a stop on the previous models. Now it's +/- 3 stops!!
Been killing myself for weeks mulling over jumping on the MK1 or spending double the amount for the MK3 here. I mostly plan on using it for video, vlogging mostly, and I feel like a lot of this camera's improvements, like the faster lens and EVF are features aimed for a much different user than myself.
On the other hand though, the articulating display and WiFi are great additions I can see myself using. And the Bionz X may be worth it as well.
I dunno, its tough. Dunno if anyone else here is using these for video, but if you have any input I'd be all ears.
Regardless, you guys always do fantastic product spotlights, and this is no exception. Kudos.
Articulating display is definitely a good reason to buy for your purposes of vlogging. I would get it.
"Doesn't even taste good", i just bursted into laughter in the library
Great review
However, it would have been awesome if you mentioned about the new 3axis stabilisation for stills and how many stops it it's good for..
this is kind of the deal-breaker as low light/low ISO is important for me
Great vid on the whole, but to me the sound sync seemed noticeably off (watching on iPhone 5s over wifi BTW) the lack of audio is a non issue. This is a point and shoot, it's a B camera. When Atomos release the Ninja Star, you could have decent audio recording and broadcast video...just add a bracket to the bottom of the cam.
Furthermore, the RX100 m3 looks ideal for slinging under a DJI aerial rig. Nice work Chris and Jordan...and Levi
Love these guys. Asian dude is knowledgeable and entertaining.
Love the outtakes at the end!
video bombed at 3:59! :p
great review guys! :D
keep it up! love the out takes and comedy you add in.
everybody loves SSSSLLLLOOOWWW MMMOOO!
looks like this is shaping to be a very worth upgrade to the previous rx100's.
i need to start saving those pennies.
Did you de-ionize that camera after the tonguing??
i bought both the Mk1 and, later, the Mk2. Ended up adhering a hotshoe onto the mk1 for my viewfinders, havent touched the mk2 since. mk1 such a great camera, no need to bother with the updates
Why you didn't use it to record yourself? That would give clue about what it can do.
Great review!
I'm thinking of taking this one with me to Australia & New Zealand later this year.
Got mine a few days ago. I LOVE IT!!
the best camera review site
I just got the RX100 III and I'm very impressed. However, I noticed that the EVF seems somewhat wobbly, moving left and right quite a bit. Have other users noticed this?
Like you I am an avid angler. It's about time sony build a water proof and ruggedized body around the mk3. As well as a decent macro function. That'd be the most happening outdoor camera of the decade given the strong specs for stills and video.
Amazing review. Possibly the best camera review ever. Was the GH4 used for the review?
Yes, this was filmed on a pair of GH4s.
Hello I want to ask?
What you choose... This Camera or sony alpha 6000?
Life is short and its only money, ill get this along with a6000... excited much. :)
I just realize my a6000 is good enough for everyday use...
I hope the advance codec makes it into there other camera
Hot shoe for radio triggers = not only for Studio Shootings, also for outdoor shootings with external flash lights. That is the major problem I have with the M3 as well.
Great review Chris! Just wondering, will you guys be reviewing the new RX100 iv anytime soon?
Love your reviews, Chris!! I bought the Canon S100 because of your review. I bought the Sony RX 100 M III for my friend a day ago. And I wonder if you can help me because when she flips the LCD monitor to take a selfie, the image is upside down. I tried to look online about this problem but no one seems to have this problem. Thanks in advance!
Hahaha awesome bloopers, I still can't believe i saw Canadians being rude?! walking through your shot.
I want to see more of Levi!
Ugh decisions decisions, RX100M3 or the A6000 for backpacking?
A6000 is way better than any RX even now in 2019.
Thanks for the good review, but why no shots taken @ f1.8? I have heard shots taken at 1.8 are quite soft. Would love to see.
Great video :D
questions:
1- how quick does it write raw files before shutting down? I had freeze issues with the mk1
2- does the lens have magenta color casts on the corners?
3- did the stabilisation improve on the photography side?
thank you :)
Great review!
Chris, you forgot the 180 degrees rotation LCD for top notch selfie!
Nice camera,an external mic input and hot shoe would finish it off for me.
Discreet photojournalism tool the mark IIII will be?
"Bam, built in EVF" my favorite part.
Excellent Video. How do you record your audio? It's amazing!
very nice presentation. I have a couple of questions for you : 1. coudl I use it for docunentary? if yes what about with the mic? shoulf i use and external one? is it easy to edit it later? (synchronisation). all the best, George
Could you hand-on the Sony A77 mark II ? Thanks TCS
+1
and talk mostly about the focus system with real test.
yeah.. please do it TCS..
I'll wait for Chriss and Jordan.. They are the most fair reviewer on RUclips.
Thank you anyway
Damn good beer you chose to take pics of :) Damn good brewery at that!
hopefully they have made some improvements with the dust seal on this one. i have had 2 different rx100m2s and i have had issues with dust on the sensor with both of them.
Thanks Chris and Jordan for yet another great review and video. I was wondering if you could compare this to the Fuji X30 and Canon S120. Thanks
Our Fuji X30 review mentions how it compares to the RX100 MKIII. The RX100 and X30 both outperform the Canon S120 in every regard I can think of, except cost.
Jordan @ TCSTV
TheCameraStoreTV Thanks a lot Jordan for the reply and look forward to your review of the Lumix DMC-LX100 since it looks like it's game changer and worth the wait
Apparently the Panasonic rival (DMC LX100) was revealed today and is a hit at Photonika, with 4/3 sensor, 4K, etc. for about the same price. Chris, just wondering what your opinion of it is, if you have any other information. I didn't see any other specs really on the little review I saw.
seems like an awesome camera.
I always watch the people behind 😂
They’re either annoyed or confused about a dude talking while in foot traffic
Hey guys. Thanks for the review on this camera. It looks like a bloody good compact camera!
I'm thinking of getting it when it's available but like an opinion(s) on this.
My cousin's getting married in October and I want to make a short....."compilation" of the ceremony. I'm looking at the RX100m3 as a possible second camera for video mainly because of the 24mm/f1.8 at the wide end. I mainly shoot with a vg10 and have the 35mm/f1.8 and the kit 18-200mm.
Would the RX100m3 be a good second camera for wide angle shots in low light? Or would a wide, fast lens do the trick? If its a lens, suggestions would be nice ^_^
Is the camera's maximum continuous shooting still 29min long? Or has it changed? 29min is perfectly fine for the shots I plan to do with this.
Is working with the new XAVC S codec any different from AVCHD?
If anyone has some opinions to share, it would be much appreciated.
Great video, very helpful.
What's going on with the video quality of the Rx100? I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this in the comments. Problems in converting the video I'm guessing?
Interesting Ted yes I commented it too, it´s so bad oO
Great video! I had a few good laughs in this one.
So I've been looking around and there's seems to be a consistent $150-200 increase in price for the RX100 III versus the older II. Can somebody please weigh in and say if they think the III is worth the price hike? Thank you very much!
Well made little camera and it seems nice, but I still prefer the fujifilm x100s image quality. What do you think.
I'm pretty sure the Ricoh GR also has better IQ and is similarly priced and even more compact.
SchneiderMan
The Ricoh has no zoom at all.
Is actually larger.
And good luck getting any decent video out of it.
The Ricoh still is 1 of the best street camera's though and will have better raw quality.
SchneiderMan adding to what BarnET0 said: the Ricoh will also be nowhere near as spontaneous, can't focus nearly as quickly in any light situation, doesn't have the stabilization capabilities nor the added interest of a high iso stacking mode that actually works, hdr on camera that doesn't require a tripod... on and on and on.. The Ricoh is a great camera for the purists but the RX series cameras are great for EVERYONE
Yeah and I prefer D800e over the Fuji x100s! *facepalm*
ronaldov09 the d800e is not a csc! It's not comparable. But, is a great camera, no doubt on that.
The ending is as nice as the RX100 III's image quality..
Great review..but you guys should've used one rx100 to film this..the focus was bad with this gh4 :/
But great review, great camera, i have the rx100 m1 and i just love it!
enjoying your videos keep them coming please, great work!
Going to Disney and Universal in Florida later in the year and wanting a camera that will cover most events, ie low light, fireworks, night, landscape, character/family pics etc.
Would you say the sony rx100 iii or the sony a6000 would be best option and if so, what lenses would you recommend if it was the A6000 in purchasing too.
In the uk the RX100 iii can pickup for £570 UK£ and the A6000 comes in at £495 UK£
Also been looking at also at the following, canon 700d but don't want to carry such a large camera around all day for 2 weeks,
Maybe the canon g7 or g3 or possibly one of the Panasonic compact models.
Hope you have the time to reply and can help with my question/s. Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, nice video. Just wondering how did you get the clean HDMI work on external recorder? Because I looked through the Sony web site. It said the clean HDMI is only for uncompressed video preview, its not for recording to external device?
Great review! I liked it. I am looking for a good camera for super macro shots (like flowers, bugs, small toys / figurines),
good bokeh in low light or night, distant city lights (like shooting NYC landscape),
and very clear HD images like in portraits… my budget is under 700 dollars. Is this camera good for these purpuses? Thanks
for sure
7:10 that stabilisation is really not like a steadycam in 2023 😂
I would love to buy their next RX-100 mark-IV if they can reduce the Megapixel to 10 megapixel and faster lens of f-1.4 to f-2.0 @ 24mm-70mm.
Would be nice to add in a microphone jack.
=D
But why do they Never put a mic in into the body???!!
Jordon do you like the colors out of the GH4 or Sony FS700 better?
Great review - thanks.
Planning to get myself an RX-100 but just not sure which version to get. Is it worth getting the mark III if I'm just using it overseas? Or will a Mark II or even Mark I be sufficient?
What about this compared with new sony a5100? Which you think is better?
Was the new guy "filming" this? Some shots look out of focus. Doesn't take away from the episode you guys are great!
That was me. But it was only out of focus because I was busy telling Levi to make sure it was in focus.
Jordan @ The Camera Store Tv
The irony. lol Love the show! Keep it up. :D
Did that random guy seriously lick your camera?
Yeah like wft? Seriously?
Sony RX100 Mark III or a Sony a6000?
i usually have a lazy lens on a6000.. and rarely change the lens..
i don't use the hotshoe...
i am so confuse now...
The built-in flash could bounce back so I don't really need a hot shoe nor an external flash now.
Is the high bitrate sony codec better quality than the gm1-has it surpassed the gm1 as a better overall buy?
I need help with depth of field. That camera seems to be really good, or is it because you actually did the numbers to figure out the options? I have the canon powershot sx50hs and I just started learning how to use it, and I've watched many tutorials but still can't figure it out. Any help will be appreciated. :)
If it didn't lose the zoom. It would be a must buy.
great review love this camera :)
Ok RX100 Mk3 or X100T?? what would you recommend
