About Sony RX100 III 20.1 MP Premium Compact Digital Camera
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
87% appreciated the zoom range, 13% faced issues
For the type of shooting I do with this camera, the zoom range is not bothersome despite being a bit restrictive.
The zoom range is sufficient for 90% of the time, but not long enough for wildlife that is not extremely tame.
84% were impressed with size and portability
I carry the small camera in a case on my belt.
I don't have to carry a special bag for the camera, indicating its portability.
86% liked the megapixel count
Indoor photography without flash is excellent with this camera and cropping can achieve moderate telephoto due to the abundance of megapixels.
I am satisfied with the quality of 20 megapixel images and the response time of the photos.
88% liked low-light performance results
I have found that the camera has great low light performance and is better than low end Canon SLR/rebel.
The low light performance of the camera is amazing and rivals any stock lens of an entry to mid-level DSLR. It is an absolute must when taking pictures of food in a dimly lit restaurant.
81% appreciated the connectivity options, although 19% found it difficult
I love the NFC/WIFI feature which allows me to easily transfer pictures to my smartphone and share them right away while on location. It's very cool and convenient.
The camera has built-in wifi, so there's no need for adapters or wires.
Wireless connectivity has worked perfectly for me, but I found out the hard way that videos don't download easily.
I find it frustrating that the camera's connectivity options are difficult and unpredictable, especially when using the Sony app to transfer pictures to my phone or tablet.
85% found the battery long-lasting, but 15% were disappointed
I was able to take over 200 pictures in a day with the battery still at 20%, indicating a good battery life.
I took the camera on vacation and it lasted for three days without charging.
The camera's battery life is good, lasting for two days with moderately heavy use before needing charging.
I have noticed that the battery life is not very good, but Panasonic seems to have a good battery life.
81% found the autofocus speed helpful
I can get finely focused hand-held shots even at shutter speeds as low as 1/15 thanks to the excellent image stabilization.
