Today Sony up the ante and announced their Mother Of All Compact, the Mark III version of the ever popular RX100 series!
I can see Canon crying ;)
According to Sony UK...
The Mark III come with a new, Bright, wide-angle ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F1.8-2.8 lens!
Brighter and wider than before, the ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm F1.8-2.8 lens captures everything from expansive landscapes to soulful portraits. Thanks to a large F2.8 maximum aperture at its telephoto end, subjects stand out crisply against smooth background bokeh. The lens’s impressive light-gathering power also allows faster shutter speeds to freeze fast-moving subjects. A built-in 3-stop (1/8) Neutral Density filter gives even more creative flexibility with sun-drenched exteriors or intentionally-blurred shots of moving water.
A new, Clear, retractable OLED Tru-Finder™ with ZEISS® T* coating!
From detail-packed stills to vibrant Full HD movies – everything’s beautifully clear thanks to the new camera’s 20.1 effective megapixel 1.0-type back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor. Far larger than the sensor in regular compact cameras, it’s the key to breathtaking stills and video with beautiful background defocus effects.
LCD flips for easy selfies!! Selfie fans will welcome the articulated 3.0-type Xtra Fine LCD that
now flips up 180 degrees for effortless arm-length portraits and is also
very useful for shooting from either high or low positions.
Another eagerly awaited addition to the Cyber-shot™ RX100 III is its
high-contrast retractable OLED Tru-Finder™ which offers bright,
detailed viewing with the camera held to your eye. The viewfinder’s
optical surfaces include a ZEISS® T* coating that dramatically reduces
reflections and delivers exceptional corner to corner clarity. There’s
also a handy eye sensor that automatically switches between viewfinder
and monitor display.
Crafted in tough, travel-friendly aluminium for lightness and appearance, the Cyber-shot™ RX100 III builds on the acclaimed reputation of its predecessors. An uprated lens and speedy image processor are complemented by a retractable OLED Tru-Finder™ with ZEISS® T* coating, enhanced movie features and a 180-degree tilting LCD – all in a stylish fixed-lens camera that’s truly pocket-sized.
A newly-added 4K still image output
allows photo viewing on 4K TVs. High-resolution images can be
transferred via HDMI or Wi-Fi, with support for Triluminos Colour®
assuring opulent tones and textures on compatible BRAVIA TV models.
Despite its diminutive size, the camera inherits several movie functions from Sony’s professional camcorders. There’s a clean HDMI output, allowing Full HD footage to be stored on an external recorder. ‘Zebra’ patterning on the LCD and in the viewfinder helps identify the brightest areas in a scene, and dual video recording[ii] simultaneously stores small MP4 format files alongside top-quality AVCHD /XAVC S files.
I can't wait to get my hand on one!!
