Sony electronics has announced the third generation camera in its RX1R series, the RX1R III, which is a full frame compact camera featuring a 61 megapixel sensor and a Zeiss 35mm F2 lens. With the RX1R series being a popular one among select photographers, Sony decided to release a new model.
Sony has used a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor combined with the BIONZ XR image processing engine, that produces high quality images and low noise. The sensor comes with anti-reflective coating which helps to eliminate the optical low-pass filter, resulting in better image quality.

As with most of Sony’s professional cameras in the Alpha series, the RX1R III comes with an AI processing unit that can recognise movements of most subjects, making tracking subjects easy even when their face is not visible. Even though the camera comes with a fixed 35mm lens, the Step Crop shooting function will allow the user to switch between three equivalent focal lengths – 35 mm, 50 mm and 70 mm through assigned buttons/dials. The camera lens also comes with a macro ring, that enables switching to macro mode instantly.
Following Sony’s “Road to Zero” initiative, the RX1R III and other of Sony’s imaging products are manufactured at facilities that operate on 100% renewable energy. The packaging also comes in environmental friendly material.
Here are some of the most important features of the Sony RX1R III:
