Just a few minutes ago Sony introduced the new RX100 Mark III – the third incarnation of the popular large sensor advanced compact camera, bringing a few very exciting features.
In the very quick hands on video above Chris Niccolls from from the Camera Store in Canada shows the new RX100 Mark III (this is the first non Sony official video of the camera) and seem to be pretty excited by the changes (to be fair they are much more significant than the previous revision).

Here are some of the main features of the new Sony RX100 Mark III:
- 20.1 megapixel 1″-Exmor R BSI-CMOS sensor (same as the older model).
- A new 24-70mm equivalent F1.8-2.8 Zeiss lens (wider and much faster than the previous version, although somewhat shorter).
- Built in 3-stop ND filter.
- BIONZ X processor (first for the RX line – it was first introduced in the A7 series).
- Pop-up OLED EVF 1.44M dots resolution.
- 3-inch tilting (and 180 degree flip for selfies) WhiteMagic LCD – 1.23M dots resolution.
- 1080/60p video with full sensor readout @ 50Mbps, with XAVC S format support, clean HDMI output, zebra & focus peaking (there is also a 720p 120p mode for slow motion video).
- WIFI/NFC and app support.
- Battery life: 320 shots (CIPA).
- Only 290 grams (10 grams more than the previous version – and about the same size – which is very small).
- Price: $800 (pre-order at B&H).
