DPReview: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III puts emphasis on lens reach and video capabilities

Sony has unveiled the Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III, surpassing the zoom range of its predecessor with a 24-600mm equiv. F2.4-4 lens. The camera uses the same 1"-type stacked CMOS sensor which produces 20MP stills as well as 4K/UHD video, and does not replace the RX10 II, which continues in Sony's lineup.

The RX10 III's sizable lens makes room for aperture, focus and zoom rings, as well as a focus hold button. The camera offers an XGA OLED EVF with 2.36 million dots, as well as a tilting LCD. The already sturdy body is now dust and moisture resistant. Sony claims that its SteadyShot stabilization system offers up to 4.5 stops of benefit.  

An updated shutter provides an anti-distortion mode up to 1/32,000sec as well as a silent shooting mode. Wi-Fi and NFC have also come along for the ride.

It's no surprise that the RX10 III features a solid video specification, offering 4K video from 1.7X oversampled, full pixel readout without binning. 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III will sell for $1499, a $200 premium over the existing RX10 II.
