Customer Ratings & Reviews

The camera is an awesome point and shoot camera. However would have liked more ZOOM!

Absolutely love this camera. Has many of the capabilities of a DSLR, but not nearly as big. Highly suggest

this camera is awesome - this is my daily -carry around camera. the photos are great - i would suggest sony add a grip to the front though.

This is a really good camera, and you can use it for any occasion.

Had the camera for a week. Had a trip already planned to the Daytona 500. Took good pictures. Wish the zoom was better.

I really didn’t like Sony at first but, I fell in love with this camera

Love this camera! Dslr quality in a pocketable camera

Very nice mirrorless camera at this price point. Zoom is limited but that be replaced.

This is my second camera. Works great in all lights.

Wanted a travel camera for long time found it with RX100 M3

LOVE THIS CAMERA SO MUCH! Its almost like having a DSLR in my pocket!

Sony never disappoints me. Would recommend this to others.

After hearing a friend rave about this camera that came out I decided to give it a go. It took ok photos and had lots of extra features that my phone doesn't. Easy to use as well, however I just ended up not loving it compared to my phone and was a extra item to carry.

I’ve had many Sony camera and I was very disappointed by this camera. There was such a delay when trying to take a photo. When zooming in on an object pictures were blurry Bought this one back the next day.

Love the camera but since we use it for our YouTube channel called cairo and desire, this cameras video quality is amazing but it doesn't have audio inputs for us to attach stuff to it to better the sound.

In addition to the RX100M3, I own both a FF DSLR and a Sony a6000, but the RX100M3 has become my go to camera for light weight travel. I spend a lot of time touring by motorcycle and the DSLR gear is way to heavy and bulky for most occasions, requiring a lot of extra planning for space, etc. While I found the a6000 has all but replaced the FF DSLR, the RX100M3 has fast become a favorite. It fits easily in a pocket or tank bag, the photo quality if fantastic for its sensor size, really punching well above it's weight in the point and shoot category. Image quality is so good, that it is often compared to cameras much larger and bulkier. This is the camera that is easy to grab and have with you all the time, the one you will *want* to have with you all the time. The camera is expensive, but if it fits within your budget, it isn't a purchase you will regret.

The picture quality is very good but the telephoto lens is very small so it would be impossible to take pictures of animals.

it works well however it didn't have the best stability control i was after and I like the cannon g7x better . much easer to use . Thank you

I was excited when I bought the new Sony RX100M3 Camera brand new from Amazon about 3 months ago. I used it for a week on vacation and took about two thousand pictures. I have also used it for a couple day trips since then with no issue. I turned it on last week and to prepare it for my Christmas trip, format the SD cards, and set some of the presets. The camera powered on, the lens extended, but the rear screen would not display text or images. Also, all the buttons stopped working and it seemed to be stuck in movie mode, regardless of the dial settings, any button I pressed turned on and off record mode. At that point, I checked Amazon online to see what the service policy was and where to go for support. Amazon's site said to contact the manufacturer for questions and/or repair, fair enough. So I called Sony support. The Sony tech asked me to try a couple things, power off and on, take the battery out, and finally said it sounded like a firmware issue and told me to send the camera back. He said that Sony would fix it under warranty. I sent the camera in. A few days went by and Sony called me. They told me that the camera has some corrosion inside on the circuit boards, and said it was probably due to the humidity or moisture that may have entered the camera while in my use. I explained that I take very good care of tech gadgets and know for a fact that this camera was never exposed to any water or moisture. Apparently, corrosion is conveniently excluded from coverage under their warranty. Anyway, they told me that the repair of my camera is going to cost $225. I could either accept the fee or they would send the broken camera back to me. What was I going to do with an $800 paperweight and I really wanted this camera for Christmas photos. After trying to negotiate a more amicable solution, with no success, I agreed to the repair. This was an $800, "TOP OF THE LINE" Sony camera (plus case, batteries, and other accessories) that I used for one trip, owned it for a total of 90 days, and now I have to spend another $225 to have it fixed. I checked online and found a lot of similar complaints about this corrosion issue with this camera and others are in same situation having to pay out of pocket for repair. In my opinion, here are the reasons this camera failed: inferior parts; poor construction; lack of quality control; and the body is not sealed from humidity. I have gone back and forth with Sony customer support and keep hearing, "this is our policy" and "while we would like to help, there is nothing we can do". I asked them to send me pictures of the corrosion, which I have not received. I can see me being charged if this was negligence on my part or if I had dropped the camera in the pool or ocean, but this camera has been dry since day 1. I don't expect every product to be perfect, if Sony would just acknowledged the camera was faulty and fix it under warranty, I would be happy. I have several other cameras, Panasonic, Canon, and Nikon as well and iPhone, iPad, etc. Most are less expensive than the RX100M3 and some more than 10 years old. They are all still in top working condition, except for the Sony RX100M3. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in Sony! The product quality and customer service are horrible! At one time, Sony was the go to company for high quality equipment and you didn't mind paying a little extra for it. It's just not that high quality company anymore. If Sony won’t stand behind the products they sell, who will? There are far too many quality products on the market to waste your money on this overpriced junk. It takes great pictures and has lots of features, but in my opinion the costs are not worth the risks of getting one with a corrosion issue. This will definitely be my last Sony product!

Nice travel camera for standard portraits and landscapes. Could use more robust telephoto capabilities.
