VERDICT

The Sony RX10 III is quite mature as a professional quality super-zoom compact camera, and can replace your amateur D-SLR and long zoom lenses if you are not into detailed professional work or contributing to stock. The price could be a deterrent for some, but talk about replacing all your bulky equipment, and it could be worth paying if you get a good bargain from the dealers. However, one disappointing fact is that the maximum aperture drops to f/3.2 at around 50mm equivalent focal length.
