The new Sony Rx 10 Mark III looks to be the best all you and one hybrid camera/camcorder on the market soon. It has the amazing backside eliminated 1 inch sensor from its predecessor, but now mated with an amazing 24-600 mm equivalent lens that goes from F2.4 to F4 on the telephoto end of the spectrum.
The 4K videorecording, slow-motion recording, and other outstanding features easily make this a videographer's education camera dream come true.
Having learned photography on a manual Contax DSLR, with manual rings on the lens, I'm also excited about the addition of an aperture control ring, along with the focus, and zoom rings.
Sony RX-10 III Features
- High zoom 24-600mm1 (25x) F2.4-4.0 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens: The RX10 II features an astonishing 24-600mm1 (25x) zoom range in a bright F2.4-4 lens that can take full advantage of the large 1" (1.0-type) image sensor.
- 20.1 MP 1" Exmor RS stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor w/ DRAM: The large 1" (1.0-type) stacked 20.1 MP CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip performs at blazingly fast shutter speed of up to 1/32000, captures images at up to 14 fps (frames per second), ultra-sharp 4k movie without pixel binning
- 4K movie recording w/ direct pixel readout and no pixel binning: Full pixel readout without pixel binning collects approx. 1.7 times as much information as is required for 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) movie output.
- Ultra telephoto super slow motion at up to 960fps (40x): See the unseen with super-speed HFR (High Frame Rate). The stacked CMOS sensor enables shooting at an extra-high frame rate up to 960fps (40x) high-speed shooting of exceptionally clear, smooth close-up action, all the way up the ultra-telephoto range
- Fast Intelligent autofocus as quick as 0.09-sec: Along with great zoom range coverage up to 600mm1, the RX10 III features 0.09-sec. high-speed AF (autofocus).
- Super-speed Anti-Distortion Shutter at max. 1/32000 sec: Thanks to dramatically accelerated sensor readout, shutter speeds of up to 1/32000 sec. minimize distortion caused by rolling shutter phenomenon. This new blazing-fast - Anti-Distortion Shutter system - can capture shots of swiftly moving subjects
- Catch the decisive moment at 14 fps: Despite its high pixel count of over 20 megapixels, the camera features accelerated readout for continuous shooting up to 14fps7 with reduced blackout. This allows for decisive moments of subjects in motion to be captured entirely, without missing even a little action
- Enhanced operability: Rings for focus, zoom and aperture around the lens can be smoothly operated. For convenient shooting, you can turn Aperture Click Switch on for stepwise clicks of assurance, or off for a quiet, smooth feel when setting the aperture.
- Professional dust/moisture resistant magnesium-alloy body: Combined with dust- and moisture-resistant design8, the use of highly rigid magnesium alloy material for the top cover, front cover, and main chassis makes the body solid yet light, ensuring heavy-duty performance in various tough situations.
- Bright XGA OLED Tru-Finer electronic viewfinder: View every scene in rich detail with the bright XGA OLED Tru-Finer electronic viewfinder (EVF) with high resolution equivalent to approx. 2,359k-dots. The viewfinder faithfully displays what will appear in your recording, including the effects of your camera settings
- Large multi-angle 3 Xtra Fine LCD display: Frame your images easily with a large 3" (1,229k dots) Xtra Fine LCD Display that rotates in multiple angles. This also makes it easy to photograph over crowds or low to capture pets eye to eye
- Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi and NFC - control, shoot and share: Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, you can easily connect to a compatible iOS or Android smartphone or tablet with the free PlayMemories Mobile App.
