Sony RX1R III Launches: A Decade-Awaited 61MP Compact Camera Arrives This July
After a decade-long wait, Sony’s highly anticipated RX1R III fixed-lens compact camera is now arriving, with availability expected sometime this July. This third-generation model marks a significant upgrade from its 2015 predecessor, boasting a powerful 61-megapixel full-frame Exmor R sensor – a substantial leap from the previous 42.4MP.
Priced at approximately $5,099.99, the RX1R III positions itself in the premium compact camera market, competing with high-end models like the Fujifilm GFX100RF and Leica Q3. Its compact magnesium alloy body houses Sony’s latest Bionz XR and AI image processors, delivering advanced autofocus capabilities that can accurately track human bodies, heads, and eyes.
Despite its fixed 35mm F2 Zeiss Sonnar T lens, the RX1R III offers versatile shooting with a Step Crop Shooting function for 50mm and 70mm equivalent focal lengths, plus a macro mode for close-up shots. Photographers will also appreciate 4K video recording at 30 fps, 1080p at 120 fps, and a range of Creative Looks for enhanced cinematic expression. While its 5 frames per second shooting speed and fixed screen prioritize portability, the RX1R III promises exceptional image quality in a remarkably compact form factor.
