I'm a photographer of long standing. Now in my 80's, I think I've experienced the complete range of cameras from the past. Until now I've been using a DSLR camera body with supplementary lenses - like so many others. Fed up hiking around a lot of heavy gear, I decided to explore using a integrated bridge camera and got myself this Sony DSC-RX10 lll. Firstly, I must say the quality and performance of this camera is absolutely superb. It has an incredible comprehensive approach to picture taking enabling an almost infinite tweaking of the settings and covering most shooting conditions. But, of course, there lies the problem. Given the wide range of choices and settings mixed up with the rather quirky Sony menu system, it can become a steep learning curve. Despite the age thingy, I'm applying all the logic, understanding and determination I can muster to keep me going. My fear is, can I learn enough about this camera to make good use of it before it's too late? Meanwhile, thank goodness for the 'AUTO' setting!!! Read full review

It was time to upgrade my cameras after 10 years and take advantage of the technology that had developed in that time which demonstrated my phone produced better results. I did my research and looked ar wide range of cameras that was capable of producing both good video and photo’s that avoided the need for two separate cameras and a whole bunch of interchangeable lenses. I narrowed the search down to a bridge camera as being the practical camera for my amateur needs but capable of giving professional results. It became clear after searching that one camera stood out which was above my spend limit the Sony RX10 iii. Why that camera. All the reviews favoured it over the competition and there was a lot of camera packed in to it making it the Swiss Army knife of cameras that does it all and more. It has a a quality and fast (exposure wise) 25 times zoom, 4K video, acceptable low light capability, stabilizing technology, control over everything, wifi to control from your phone, and an amazing 1000 frames per second video capture. This will capture anything a camera could. The downside, all the above makes it expensive new. Perhaps the most expensive in the its category. The camera has so much packed in it makes it heavy (the same weight as a bag of sugar). Oddly Sony does not include time-lapse which is a software download up-charge which is crazy and the rear screen has limited articulation. So is it a good camera? There is the old saying you get what you pay for, in this case you get a lot and of a high quality and yes it it is a very good camera be it amateur or professional. Read full review

It is a great camera it does everything. You can have as much control as you like or just use it in auto it take great photos. Three phots the Robin was taken through the window glass in the second photo as they all were hand held. The Robin was sitting on the log in the second photo. The blade of the wind turbine was taken from the same spot and is at full zoom hand held. Center of window photo. I think that is very good. These were all shot in auto mode.

Excellent quality with a massive 28mm to 600mm zoom. Instructions very basic and hard to grasp for a beginner like myself, trial and error with programmes it seems. Overall quite impressed but shooting and downloading images yet to be used in ernest. Time will tell, but hopeful on early trying.
