Sony Rolls Out RX1R III, First New Model in Compact Full-Frame Line in 10 Years
Sony has just let out the RX1R III, a big update to its tiny full-frame camera line. This is the first fresh model in ten years, bringing big tech changes and a steep price jump of about $2,000 more than the one before it.
Main Specs and Parts
The Sony RX1R III has a high-res sensor and a strong new chip. Here are its main tech specs:
- Sensor: 61MP 35mm full-frame Exmor R sensor.
- Chip: Bionz XR image chip.
- High-tech Autofocus: The Bionz XR chip helps with eye-tracking that can guess and stick to a person's eyes for fast, spot-on focus. It works with 693 phase-detection AF points.
- Lens: A set Zeiss Sonnar T 35mm F2 lens.
- Digital Focal Lengths: The high-res sensor lets for digital framing, making it easy to swap between 35mm, 50mm, and 70mm views to make up for the set lens.
