BrorSvensson 251 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 They also introduced a 70-300mm FE zoom and the lens i've been waiting for 2 years. A autofocus 50mm 1.8 for 250$ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveAltizer 702 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Wow this is great!! I wonder if more updated cameras will trickle out over the next few weeks. If Sony updates every year, the a7 line should have an update soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Daniel 1,286 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Another RX10.... crazy! I owned the RX10 II for 3 months. I didn't like it at all - the image aesthetic with the 1" sensor is not for me. Nice zoom range on this one though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 905 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Yea, Sony are dropping out more cameras than girls off the estate drop kids... It's hard to keep up. As Dave said, didn't the RX10 II get launched with the last a7R II? That was, what, June 2015? How can they justify that? 1 kidzrevil reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently RX10 III is not meant to be an upgrade of RX10 II, but more of a second option with different lens 3 kidzrevil, BrorSvensson and gelaxstudio reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveAltizer 702 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 Interesting. Proves that we can't rely on Sony like Apple with release dates. They seem to have their own release timing with no consistency. 1 BrorSvensson reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rinad Amir 126 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 i think its good thing that this getting released soon nice little gadget for slowmo that i was looking for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolf33d 587 Report post Posted March 29, 2016 No new feature for video. Probably the rx100 5 will also have something like a 24-85mm lens to compete with the new nikon equivalent. A7R III coming already? I don't think so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronFilm 3,080 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 RX10 mk2 is still superior! Constant f2.8 for the win Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hmcindie 361 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 6 hours ago, IronFilm said: RX10 mk2 is still superior! Constant f2.8 for the win I disagree owning the RX10 ii. I'd say a 24-600mm f2.4-f4 will definitely be more useful than 24-200 f2.8 The difference between f4 and f2.8 in dof is negligible but the difference between 200 to 600 is huge. You could then use the rx10 iii as a 600mm replacement camera for video. RX10 is not a light gathering camera anyways so you can forget about shooting in low light with either. At 200mm the rx10iii is probably somewhere around f3 so the difference is even less. You can't do smooth zooms or snap zooms with the rx10ii so the "constant" f2.8 doesn't even do anything.

Ak Ns 18 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 I guess it has same bad video focussing and soft image in 240fps and very bad low light performance, But 600mm might solve bokeh issues also it might increase focussing distance further. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gianluca 6 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 Hmcindie From 85mm it's like a costant f4 lens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivanhurba 82 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 And it loses the ND filter too, so no constant aperture and no ND. I think it's worst but now it gives the option to go Sony Slog to all those FZ1000 Pana users. I just don't understand why they named RX10III, does it means that we won't see a new 2.8 lens version? That would be sad! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronFilm 3,080 Report post Posted March 30, 2016 Probably the mk4 next month will get the constant f2.8 lens version ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
