Advantages of an electronic viewfinder
An electronic viewfinder is the choice of many serious photographers since they can hold the camera rock-steady, right up to their eye, while accurately and quickly composing a shot.
Crisp images for composition
In this OLED Tru-Finder™ EVF, the high-contrast, high-resolution electronic display boasts some 1,440 K dots that are clear right up to the edges for distraction-free work.
Excellent optics
Not only does the ZEISS® T* coating help cut glare for reduced eye-fatigue, the entire viewfinder is designed to minimise blurring caused by eye shake.
EVF is ready when you are
Turn on your camera and start composing the shot—all in a moment. Popping up the electronic viewfinder automatically activates the camera so you are ready to go instantly.
Superb image quality
Thanks to the versatile ZEISS® lens, 1.0-type sensor, and extremely fast processor, shoot low-light challenges to stunning wide-angles and get exactly the shot you envision, every time.
Fixed ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens
ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm lens with fast F1.8-2.8 aperture.
20.1MP Exmor R™ CMOS sensor
1.0-type back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS sensor for high resolution, low noise.
Superior processing
Advanced image-processing engine for superior detail and texture rendering.
Four times more light
Better light capture with a back-illuminated sensor.
Without metal wiring in the front (I), Sony’s design creates a light-capturing area approximately four times larger (II) than that of standard sensors (III).
Capture all the details with BIONZ X™
With BIONZ X, enhanced detail reproduction and diffraction-reducing technology reproduce fine lines more clearly and sharply. You get reduced blur from light points, especially at small apertures.

With a built-in electronic viewfinder, class-leading sensor, bright ZEISS® lens and more packed into a sleek aluminium body, the RX100 III continues to raise the bar for premium compact cameras.
