Review Summary
2025-09-02T20:00:00
The RX1RMK3 is a small, fast, fully featured every day full frame carry anywhere or EDC camera. The Zeiss 35mm F2 is crisp, renders images that defy the typical clinical digital look and feel of equivalent lenses. This is not a camera you can try in the store or at a friend's house you need to take it out and shoot with it to experience how capable it is in most urban settings. Would I shoot fast moving sports with it? Likely not, but in its intended space it is unbeatable. Battery life is excellent and a significant improvement over my RX1RMK2 BX1 batteries. I much prefer the built-in EVF as opposed to the previous pop-up version. The shooting experience with this camera makes you want to take it out and use it. The 61MP sensor is a known quality and is the same one used in a number of bigger full frame cameras and it is well respected and capable. The newer Sony menu interface is totally configurable to the user preferences. The ability to set-up user colour profiles (LUTS) as well as the built-in profiles makes this camera very adaptable to any situation. I don't recommend it as a video camera but it does shoot XAVC S 4K 8 bit 4:2:2.

In buying this camera, I was worried that the same lens attached in the previous model could deal with the upgraded 61MP sensor. I was over worried after seeing the developed images. This will be my daily walk around camera going forward.

I would never buy this for over 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS. For a point and shoot this is ridiculous. I got to try it from a friend and I can honestly say it's nothing to write home about.
