Sony's 61MP RX1R III fixed-lens compact camera is finally here after a ten-year wait


Sony just surprised the photography world by unveiling RX1R III, a fixed-lens 35mm full-frame compact camera.

Coming nearly ten years after the RX1R II, it has a 61MP Exmor R sensor along with Sony's latest image processing technology that promises low noise and high dynamic range. Apart from all the new tech, the RX1R III is smaller and more streamlined than before and considerably lighter at 17 ounces than its main competition, Leica's Q3 and the Fujifilm GFX100RF. It also features an anti-reflection coating and no optical low-pass filter to boost image quality, though that can cause some moire and other artifacts.
