Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sony Cybershot III is the perfect camera for someone who wants near-DSLR quality in a point-and-shoot package. Just set the camera to full auto and shoot! If an enthusiast wants more control over specific imaging parameters, this camera offers a full spectrum of manual controls as well as raw imaging capability. Want a bonus? Check out the Cybershot III's video recording quality. Excellent video/audio quality makes it easy to forget that this isn't a dedicated video camera! Wonderful camera! Worth every penny!

This camera is amazing. If you want a compact camera that takes fantastic pictures, this is the one to get. Yes, it is pricey but the difference between this camera and my previous one (Panasonic TZ-50) is like night and day.

This is great for quick shots, I haven’t been able to try every mode, but I have used it for concerts and they look pretty good so far. It is probably meant for someone with more experience with camera work, but as a beginner, I am happy with this selection. One downside is the program the camera has when you link it to your computer is no longer serviced so you have to work offline. Not a big deal, I personally make my edits in the offline version and then export to a different service if i need anytbung else, but be ready to not have the full services of Sony Memories. Great video and you will have to change the settings for full zoom.

This literally blows away my Canon DSLR in terms of image quality, video quality, autofocus speed, low-light performance and white balance accuracy. The Canon T3i is admittedly a couple of years old, but I am thrilled with this Sony camera after a month of use. I thought the 3x zoom would be a little limiting, but at 100% crop, the image looks perfect! So you get the benefit of a zooming in after the fact. For video, you have very sharp 1080p at 60fps, 720p at 120fps, intelligent steady shot for pro quality moves without a steady cam. This excels in photos and shoots cinema quality video. If you can't tell already, I love it!

The Sony RX100M3 is one of the most potent point and shoots on the market today hands down! The files that this camera produces are stunning and having a built in electronic viewfinder in a camera this small is really revolutionary. Plus a 24-70mm f/1.8 Zeiss lens which results in gorgeous possibilities. Again the best point and shoot on the market and don't think anyone would argue with this. It does take some time getting use to customizing this little guy, but once you get it figured out a very cool camera.

Not a bad camera - at this time probably the best in class. Gord picture quality. Better video quality. Just a little bit overpriced.

Being a long time DSLR user this is my first small pocket-able camera with the features I am used to and I will use it to compliment my DSLR. The 1.8-2.8 aperture Zeiss lens is now the sharpest lens I own and requires no sharpening when I process my raw files. I shoot in manual mode nearly all the time which was easy to set up because of the flexibility and customization abilities of the camera. It is very small and it felt very different for me at first, but now my DSLR seems huge in comparison. As an advanced user this small camera is a jewel to use and the results are wonderful. As I write this I can't think of a thing I would change about it or a complaint I might have.

Its predecessors earned huge awards so I knew that the Sony RX100 III would be an exciting camera that deliver. Sensor Resolution is still at a high 20.2 megapixels, from the exact same backside-illuminated chip in the RX100 II. The screen can now be tilted upwards 180 degrees, or downwards 45 degrees. There's also a new XAVC S compression option, with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD) or below, and a bit rate of 50Mbps. And the RX100 III beats its predecessors in the video stabilization department, too, thanks to new SteadyShot Intelligent Active Mode technology. This camera is awesome and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something small to replace their DSLR.

Took great photos at a concert. This camera performed well beyond my expectations. It was very easy to use! I've used other brand names but this is the first time I can actually say I have been completely pleased and satisfied with the ease and quality of my pictures.

Enough has been written about this camera online for those serious about buying this camera. I can't add that much more except that it is one of the best compact cameras you can buy. Picture quality is excellent but beware that this camera has limited optical zoom.

This works way better than any point and shoot camera. The intelligent scene mode was the one that I used often and believe me the photos turn out great with it. The amount of options it offers to the enthusiasts is definitely great and the nice thing is that it is so compact in size that you can carry it around anywhere you go.

This is a hard one for me to rate. I bought this as a small camera I could use tightly packed into motorcycle bags for our trip to Sturgis 2020 (also taking my camera bag with the Nikon D7500) The plus: The images are beautifully bright and vivid (Sony does not disappoint here). The menu was simple enough for a learn on the go kind of thing (except pairing, we will get to that) AND it let's you shoot in RAW (almost unheard of in a point n shoot)! It also took beautiful selfies as well as panoramic shots! The negatives and why I decided to return the camera: Bluetooth for me was a MUST but Sonys playmemories mobile/imaging edge mobile app is absolutely impossible and infuriating to link. After reading for a few hours on my vacation and several attempts, I gave up. It's a deal breaker for me. Apps fault, not camera I'm sure. The zoom leaves a lot to be desired especially if shooting in sport/action. You have to be in the mist of action for a shot and for motorcycle stunt shows, not a safe place to be. The camera shutting down after jumping from screen or eye piece surprisingly annoyed me, I feel like I missed a lot in-between. The last bit of disappointment I have regarding this purchase was the leather case I bought to protect it. There is a rubber one on Amazon but with the pop out eye piece it makes for a hard fit. The case said it could be used with a tripod (partially true) you can screw the unbuttoned case to a tripod but you can not put a quick release plate on it, you can't unbutton the case then, quite ridiculous design. Again, not the cameras fault but for a pricey little camera I'd prefer to have some protection available. I sadly returned both the camera and case.

I think this camera offers the best image quality of any small camera at the moment. I Really love the pop-up SVGA OLED electronic viewfinder, easy to use if its hard to look at the LCD screen in direct sunlight.

We purchased this camera because our old Sony was starting to die. The difference in speed and picture quality is astounding! We bought this one for my husband to use, but now we're fighting over who gets to use it. The only downside seems to be that I can't seem to edit the pictures using Microsoft software.

I'm a professional photographer. I've been shopping around for a replacement pocket camera for a while now and found this one. I want something that would work for concert photography. Something that venues would allow in when I can't bring in my professional big rigs. It's image quality is pretty good. They are sharp, good color correction right out of the box and fairly fast. The problems I have with this camera were that the low light images were not good. They were soft, pixelated and colors were off. Plus, the zoom just isn't there like the older models. It's a good camera for everyday shooting and vacations, but not for concert photography or night time shooting.

For the size , this is a great camera. I have a dSLR but when I don't want to lug that around this is the one for me. Amazing pictures, simple yet it can become in depth as you want.

Only had it for a short time but I love this camera so far. Great compact size and love full manual features. I got an excellent open box deal which certainly helps for such a steep priced point and shoot. Ditched a dslr that I never used because of bulk - this thing competes with quality but MUCH more practical for bringing out and about.

This is a great camera!! It is exactly what I was looking for in a compact camera when I can't take my Nikon D7100 with me. It takes a little while to figure out the the knobs and the settings but its worth it. I found that even the auto setting can take a great picture. The big improvement of this model compared to the previous DSC-RX100 II is the addition of the electronic viewfinder. Great move Sony!!

This is a great little camera that you will always want to have with you. Almost pocketable (if you're wearing cargo pants).Aside from that, It can do almost anything a bigger and heavier DSLR can do, except maybe long zoom pictures. You can choose your settings or take the easy way out and use Superior auto, which creates fantastic pictures. A biit pricey, but well worth it.

Wanted a compact pocketable camera. Decided on the RX100m3 because wife has A6000. Both cameras released within a month of each other. Menu in both cameras about 99.9% identical which makes it easy for both of us to use each others camera.
